Joined Up Thinking Poems | Examples

Corporate Speak

When the president said ‘misunderestimated’
Everybody wondered, ‘was he ever educated’
But I forgive him that, for the thing that makes me ‘EEK!’
Is the mad proliferation of Corporation Speak…

For thirteen years a desk paid my rent
As I gave a hundred and ten percent
While progress chasing, the big knobs suggested
I could perhaps be more invested
 
They said action that
And try blue sky thinking
Let’s square the circle
Cos floating ain’t sinking
 
So pick it up and run with it
But bring it to the table
And hit the ground running
Don’t smoke in the stable

Scare the ghost
Feel the commotion
Peel the onion
Boil the ocean
 
If you’re out of the loop
Go punch the puppy
We’ll take it on board 
(While I punch the yuppie)

So here’s the game changer
Think outside the box
We need joined up thinking 
Heads up, shoot the fox

It’s a no brainer, for it’s got legs
The tastiest coffee still has dregs
So find a window, bump some heads
You can’t make an omelette without cracking eggs

So let’s all sing from the same hymn sheet 
For we live in a world full of corporate speak
