Meeting Expectations

MEETING      EXPECTATIONS



What are your meeting expectations? She said
In a businesslike tone that to me suggested 
She’d just learned the two-word term from  a  seminar 
For post-grads in a conference centre downtown, not far.
What do you want to see coming out of the meeting?
You want maybe less around-the-bush  beating?
Clear focus  on important points?  More hands-on experience, my lad?
I wanted none of those business items. What I wanted she had.
She  -   was who I  wanted to see...... coming out of the meeting.
She was not too tall, not too slim, well-worth  greeting,
Not too old,  not too young, not too shy or fresh.
It’s what I had always wanted,  to mesh and thresh with her flesh.
I said my meeting expectations have little to do with business, its true
Although I’d definitely like to do the business with you.
What I want to see coming out of the meeting is us  birds-of-a-feather:
Maybe a drink or some dinner,   but then I want us to flock together.
Yes I like having a clear focus on one or two of  your  important points,
And I badly want more hands-on experience with you, but not in this joint.
Instead of meeting here we’ll be  meat-ing in a café Chinese or Indian
Instead  of expectation, for dinner we  will   expect  Asian.

  Written for Paula Swanson's competition   MEETING EXPECTATIONS

It Business

It nothing but business
And what that mean
I got plan
And that to run may own company
I want to find me location and buy me a house
I want up my capital and make all the plans 
I want to my own employee
Tone it’s a business what is our company name
What type of business we want to plan.
You call the company and I help you run it.
It just business
That is our plan
