Fueling the Future - Rhymed Detours on Entrepreneurs

Got a Great Idea? a New Product Idea? a Clever Invention? Here's a Look at the Life of an Inventor

Two weeks' notice; we're risk-takers,
Soon to be decision-makers,
Resigning with impunity
To build our opportunity.

Inventions geared to spin, revolve,
Do everything to problem-solve,
Would revolutionize the earth,
If we could give our product birth.

Six months were filled with fries and burgers
Talking acquisitions, mergers,
Coffee served in quart containers
Patent lawyers on retainers.

We drew our flow-charts, surfed the 'Net
Promoted every chance we'd get.
Our families, they forgot our faces,
As we lived out of cheap suitcases.

Hammering out fundamentals
P&Ls and all essentials.
Call in pizza in a box;
Deadline's here; turn back the clocks.

A new idea, a great intent
And all those sleepless nights we spent . . .
At last, we unveiled our creation
Amid shouts of jubilation.

This week's the widget world convention;
We're demonstrating our invention.
So proudly, without condescension,
We usher in the next dimension.
