FREE BIRD (In The Board Room)

by Terry Olynik

You are a woman
On the rise.
Your power and reach
Within the corporation
Grow exponentially.
A directive
From your desk,
Launches hundreds
Into action -
Balance sheets
Reformulating at your
Nuanced whim.

I am in awe
Of your accomplishments.
I marvel
At your growth.
But I must admit -
You will,
To me,
Forever remain
The "Skynyrd" insomniac
In my pajama tops....
With the chocolate milk
Mustache.

Author's Note: ...and this bird will never change.

An enjoyable analogy and about my favorite song, which I've identified myself to many times. Yes, this is going into my favorites.

It's wonderful we can remain these collections of the past while still navigating the often uncharted waters of the present... Well writ! - RCat
