There's a lot to be said for just letting your hair down and having a go

Views in Verse - on 'making it'.  


There's a lot to be said for just letting your hair down and having a go!

I work in marketing and often find it amazing how things can take on life of their own when the hype simply gets to be 'too much'. As an old friend of mine used to too often quote "marketing is 'where the rubber meets the sky!'" ...the stuff of fairy tales indeed

Hansel & Gretel

Hansel and Gretel

were soul-mate lovers

with an eye on getting to the top

They sunk their future into social media

And worked very hard full stop

Fast movers in society...

At all the events

they were there

Hansel looked after the people side

Gretel did the books

(...and her hair)

It was fine

Till Helga came along

An events girl with real 'smartz'

Seen all around town with Hansel

Winning all the bigwigs' hearts

Gretel heard rumours

Of this success...

concluding smoke

must be fire!

When Hansel denied any knowledge of this

Gretel called him a liar

The company boomed

The industry swooned

Helga became the new face

As Hansel pushed the business along

Gretel dropped right off the pace

She lost control of her back-office too

When she heard that Helga

was pregnant

She left the business

Without checking the facts

Something Hansel further rejected

The next week they hosted 

the media awards

All these things came to head

As out of the crowd

Gretel roared loud

and politely shot them both dead

The moral is clear:

we needn't fear

of going into media...
 

But before finding fame

with three German names

You need to take care...

That there is more of challenge

to all involved

than the maintenance

of one's own hair
