The average bird considers it best
to sleep at night inside a nest.
When a squirrel wants to catch some z's,
he uses cavities in trees.
A bat, of course, must play the clown
and slumbers upside down.
Care to come in-- a cup of coffee?
Comes close to corporate strategy,
And time's when ripe for tricks,
Battle-tested tactics,
Say, an impromptu hand on her knee. _____________________________________________
Corporate corridors are abuzz with tactics and strategies.
And corporate schools discuss essential difference between the two.
I spent the last few years of my job looking after Strategic Planning and the question was posed to me as well. But it never occurred to me then to make limerick like this. This one highlights the essential difference between the two.

Strategies
Without question
Agree with their concepts and ideas
As they are good but for nothing
Except to argue with cliché words and rotten logic
Creativity, they know not
Nor do they know the way of searching truth
Your acceptance of their belief
Will neither harm you nor help them
But their adamancy may do a great harm
On the way of your smooth run.
The road is long
And the promises are many
The onus is on you to keep the magic lamp burning
For the greater good
For the larger mankind
As no one knows your strength but yourself
Never step to counter aggressively
This may be a trap of your opponent
Before time to burn you out
The worth of you,
You know better
The wealth of your fertile land
No one can count
Avoid any sort of conflicts
Or war of words with people, foolish
Their mistakes will not go to your grave
But their anger may damage your golden crop
Situation may be tough
Working condition may be tight
But to let unnecessary things to go is easy
As the buck lies on you to keep the boat sailing .
