As I often do I read through the google news website and select a few articles that seem important to read. I do a lot of headline reading this way so that I can keep up with world and US events. Really at some point I should customize the my google thing so that it only displays articles I am really going to read, I don't tend to open anything in the sports catagory, I mean there is no Ultimate in there so why would I? Anyways, a few days ago I came across this particular gem that was about stress. It was pretty breif and told me a lot of things I already knew about stress from my own experiences with it. However, it had a great ending with how some CEO's deal with stress, and one particular guy liked to imagine he was a mechanical object. In fact he said that one time he told someone that he was a steamroller. Isn't that wonderful. Of all the objects you could imagine to be a Steamroller is not one that I would have thought of. It inspired this poem, which is about being a steamroller and a CEO (kind of, I really like the metaphor of a CEO being a steamroller, it just tickles me).
Steamroller Man
This man is no ordinary man.
He is a man of steel.
In a word,
invincible.
He runs down all those
before him.
But this man was not
always so,
mighty and round.
This man had dreams
that one day,
he could say,
that he,
was a steamroller.
