A SALUTE TO THE 9-5 SLUMP
This is for those all-nighters spent at the office,
The aching back, the neck cramps.
This is for the pens that scribble and for those that run dry.
For the squeaky chair and cold coffee.
Salute.
This is for the graphs, the figures, the reports and those who study them.
For the rhythmic beat of fingers on a keyboard and all the calluses.
This is for the faxes, the telephone calls and the never-ending emails.
For the analysts,
The left-brained soldiers,
Salute.
This is for the planners, the receding hairlines and the wrinkles.
For the bins filled with crumpled paper and the heads filled with ideas.
The revolutionaries,
The game changers,
The inspirations.
This is for you.
Do great things,
We salute you.
