Paying Attention - Not.

.....There is this navy-wide initiative called 'Lean' (yanked from the private sector) that is supposed to streamline processes to make us more efficient and productive. This week one of the bosses wanted to institute the results of a Lean Workshop in our Code. The problem is that this initiative is full of holes that are going to bite him later. I tried to explain, but he was filled with the holy fires of change. So, what do you do when the boss gives a lecture on a plan that is going to save the Navy? You doodle as if you were taking notes and work on a sonnet instead. :-)

She is serene, a regal life beheld.
The soft spring light that does engender life.
It cleanses the heart of the demons felled,
To grant renewal that's denied by strife.

Her gentle voice guides with a wisdom deep.
Art of the muse instructs young who hear it,
As she weaves cloth of lore for them to keep.
Protection from the shadows who fear it.

Yet her eyes sparkle with a mischief bright.
A joyful plot that reaches all around.
Beware the shuttle on this loom of light.
Her clever hands of fate will leave you bound.

This weaver labors on the threads of fate.
With laughter as her tool she conquers hate.

.....An English Sonnet, but I wasn't in the mood for something in Spenserian. :-)

.....Arontius.
