Corporate Haiku by William Warriner is funny, thought-provoking and touches a chord somewhat deeper than Dilbert.
A few samples from the book
So many birdsongs.
In this conference, each sings
its own agenda.
A marketing bird!
He tells me, tells me, and then
tells what he told me.
The mystery is:
here is the fork in the road,
but which way is up?
From 101 Corporate Haiku – Subversive verse for the office aesthete by William Warriner
I like this too. I just picked it up in a bookstore today, read it, and posted a quick blog article about it. Good stuff.
Thank you for the comment. The corporate haikus are quite realistic, aren’t they?
Yeah, they really are. I’m in bookstores all the time looking at the titles in the business/leadership/management sections, and most of the books I find there are at least 250 pages long and contain very little original insight. This little volume might not be over 5,000 words and is absolutely brilliant. I was really pleased to find it.
