the end of an era
my final assignment, my lasting legacy in this place is a pair of rhyming couplets i wrote about a bear dressed like elvis. a promotional giveaway for one of our big functions in thailand, each year the stuffed bear has a different theme. we've had samba bear, fred astaire bear, bunny bear and now elvis bear. every year, we look forward to the production of this bear with increasing degrees of trepidation, because, frankly, nobody wants to write the damn poem that will go along with and introduce the little critter.
but, as i don't really care if the door hits me on the ass as i leave, i took a stab at it. or, rather, was coerced into it with a sick amount of flattery. as the resident songwriter, clearly i was the perfect choice to tackle this. so here's what i cam up with:
of bright las vegas town
was that he knew if he should move,
his first call would be ________
it makes sense in the context of what we do.
whoo! with talent like THAT on board, can you believe they're letting me go without a fight? hot damn.
anyway, just under six hours, and thus ends a two and a half year saga, of my first real job and my first real taste of purgatoric hell. may future waters be brighter and smoother, but just as full of amusing anecdotes. and more likely to instill in me an actual sense of self-respect. that'd be nice, too.
