Myth-conceptions

by Rachel Hoyt

Sometimes the plain facts

Don't seem enough;

Sometimes one reacts

By adding fluff;

Sometimes the teachers

Teach what they want;

Sometimes the preachers

Want words that daunt;

Sometimes what we know

Just became true

Because the "facts" flowed

From them to you.

This poem was inspired

The Corporate Personality

by Rachel Hoyt

It's all for one - a single goal:

endear our product to your soul.

We found it was love at first sight.

We know that you'll see we were right.

We sometimes work from dusk to dawn

(if you count camp outs on the lawn).

We love rare beats and ethnic foods

and how emoji boost our moods.

We hate to wear our shoes indoors

(and thus also hate cold tile floors).

We banned memos, don't use voicemail,

and have greeters who wag their tails.

A family, we grow as one -

each bullets in a loaded gun.

Some say the "best" way to build a small business

is to act like a cult leader and embrace prejudice.
