Tough Job

Management tells staff,
"Cutbacks are necessary!"
-then to Bahamas.

Drawing Circles
By Edward S. Gault

Afternoon workshops were on
Making contact with the prospects and
Winning their confidence so they would
Agree to be your downline. After five
Years, and six direct distributors later- you got
Pearl-but you had to draw a lot of circles and
Leap through more circles.
A lot of miles logged.
No guarantees.
-many would drop out.

Job Fair
by Edward S. Gault

A sea of faces
Formed of lines
Leading to tables
Themselves lined up
Against the walls,
each with a glossy banner.
Bold letters spell out
Companies and logos.
So, he that so recently graduated
Summa Cum Laude
And was just wed,
Obtained a mortgage.
He that the boss called his Number One Son In The Business,
With the $75 dollar hair trimming
Got his pink slip from Dad
And wades into that sea of faces
To take his place in line
For a chance at a job offered at one of the tables.

Modern Business Plan

Ruined company,
Downsized staff, asked for bail out
-golden parachute.
