Halloween Success Story

by Miki Saxon

ghoulI 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!
