I’ve sipped my tea then let it fester Now I search in vain for a wrigleys extra The seminars over but I’m stuck to my seat Preferring death to the “meet and greet” Just how does ‘one’ learn to talk shop stop...(look, listen) then thoughtfully digest? Press the flesh feign genuine interest On a range of subjects I loathe and detest Sparkle (effervesce) Then work the room like a stale breath sex pest You’re oozing B eau as you move through the room Your Pink shirt and pin stripes pre-ordained in the womb Your hairline your i-phone your chin like a shoe Still when I grow up I’d like to be you

Very well written Stephen! I love, love the subject matter. The 'meet and greet' oozes hyprocrisy most of the times. Nice!
