The Climb’, By Michelle
I climbed the corporate mountain
Until I reached the very peak
Now everyone must listen when I deem to speak
The climb, it was not easy
There were blocks along the way
I crushed and overcame them all to be where I am today
I crushed my inner voices That ones that brought me joy
It was well worth the sacrifice to be in this employ
I trampled on some people
Who had once been my support
No longer are they needed now money is my fort
I have reached the highest pinnacle I now survey all down below
I recognise that hopes and dreams cannot a bank balance grow
I identified what was important
On my ascent to the crest
I left behind emotions that would hinder my progress
I have conquered the corporate mountain
It required great sacrifice
It has all been worth it to achieve this corporate life
‘Selling a Pencil to a Buyer’, By 'The Girl From 1982'
Selling a pencil to a buyer!
A little birdie told me you were looking for something,
That will make an impact on your life
And I think I have it... a pencil!
You may think me a fool my dear, for suggesting such a thing,
But a pencil could be the answer that gives your life its zing!
It’s not merely an apparatus, that is packed in full of lead.
It helps create extraordinary things that come out of your head.
Egyptians, Romans and the Greeks, they all had writing tools,
Made from paper and then lead til another took the calls.
Go forward to the 1500s when the writing stick took shape,
And then nearly 1800 til the pencil gained its cape.
All the novels that started in pencil,
All the paintings that started in sketch,
All the buildings that started as lines on a page,
And the money that these now fetch.
All the kids at school are doodling,
All the teachers marking papers,
All the office workers pushing pencils,
While the creatives create fun capers.
There’s the people doing crosswords and Sudoku on the train,
There’s the lottery fanatics filling tickets out again.
They have so many uses, than the ones you’ve seen before.
They are handy for so many things, so let’s look at some more.
They can hold up your whole bun net, when you twist your hair around,
You can use two just like drumsticks, to create an awesome sound.
Make a splint for broken fingers, use as chopsticks for your rice,
Number a box on all six sides and you have a homemade dice.
Stand in needle, for your knitting,
Crossbow arrow, for light hitting
Self defence, like a dart!
Killing vampires through the heart.
Some like using as a pointer, when controlling a situation
As a back scratcher its handy, when your out on a location.
They’ve travelled all across the world and even been right out to space,
They are internationally renowned my dear, so get some for your place.
I can’t sell them more than this and I’m shocked that you don’t own,
A utensil such as this, a great addition to your home.
Buy it now and here’s a deal, don’t delay or it is missed,
50p for one or a pound for two, go on, you can’t resist!
