Yale Tour Guide

A voice as grating,
Reaching through the library walls,
Mandates a study break.

This penguin is so much cuter than her voice.

MBA-Speak

by Emily H.

“Unfortunately, the gods
of the change universe
are not so kind or considerate.”*

1. There is a “change universe.”                                       2. It has “gods.”                                                               Ergo: “Release the Kraken.”

*J. Steward Black and Hal B. Gregersen, It Starts with One: Changing Individuals Changes Organizations, 2nd edn. (Pearson, 2008), p. 5.

 

 

July Fourth

by Emily H.

Perhaps a smidge of trespassing…
But fireworks are always
Worth climbing on others’ rooftops.

Torture in the Library

by Emily H.

Watching Deutschland snatch a win
Or loss? or win? Near
Impossible to stay silent.

Exactly.
