Halloween Success Story
by Miki Saxon
I do love writing rhymes for holidays and special friends. And when I read them again a year or decade later I’m always amazed that I don’t die of embarrassment.
Last Halloween I wrote A Halloween Economy at MAPping Company Success and Scary Times Require Rhymes for Leadership Turn.
So without more ado, here is your rhyming fix for this Halloween.
There was a student named Delf
who had a high opinion of self
He truly believed that with nary a sigh,
he could start a company that would fly high.
He founded it on Halloween
in stealth mode to avoid being seen—
he didn’t want the media calling or
have to deal with VCs stalling.
He started a social networking site
for all the creatures that go bump in the night,
because they had no safe place to gather
cyberspace was perfect to network and blather.
Delf launched his site in 2006
with offices next to the River Styx.
Vampires, demons, werewolves and ghosts
all flocked to the site in order to boast.
The member list grew and grew
’til even Delf didn’t have a clue,
but he was smart and used his noodle
to arrange for the site to be acquired by Ghoulgle!
