Um, Um, Thanks for coming here, um, to hear me say
The details I’ve memorized to present them just this way.
Ultimately, essentially as markers of degree
Decorate, as verbalized, so you’re impressed with me.
Actually, technically, with some regard to fact
Validate my statements until I take them back.
With all due respect given freedom of the tongue,
No offense intended – none taken, Um, Um.
But again, then again, in addition to and more,
Repetition of the statement, again, as I said before.
Mumbling; subtle hand gestures and a poor display of graphs
Disguise my insecurities to push this line of crap.
Exactly, absolutely, I couldn’t agree with you more,
I see what your saying, more than you know; Galore.
Everyone, always and never, trust me on this please.
Promise, in regard to, with all the guarantees.
Worth its weight in gold, let’s not reinvent the wheel.
I know I’m preaching to the choir, I think we’ve got a deal.
I wrote this little poem several years ago while I was working at Nacogdoches Memorial Hospital. I was in the adminstrative conference room with a group of managers and directors listening to a GPO salesman present a new software program that was going to help the hostipal save a million dollars in one year. As you can tell I listened intently without distraction.
It seemed appropriate to post this now since I am in San Diego at a Tri-Area Sales Meeting...Um, Um, yes, I am the new salesman...
