He Opposed Every Idea We Had
He was emphatically opposed
to every suggestion his co-workers ever had
Each idea distorted, contorted.
Un-thought out, would not work,
Would fail, falling on its face.
A new optimist was brought to us on Tuesday.
Her ideas were torn apart by him
Slapped down, killed,
Hung, strung, annihilated,
Butchered, sliced, diced.
She could not stop laughing.
For some reason this intrigued him.
He changed, and allowed two of her weird ideas
to be written up into policy.
Optimism in action!
