Work here’s been incredibly busy
And a blog is long well overdue

Like The Owl and the Pussy Cat of Lear
Back then was Pam Ayres’ heyday,
On Opportunity Knocks she unleashed

Like: Oh I wish I looked after my teeth.

Today’s theme is all about ‘work’.
Our business is communication –
So a quick plug surely won’t hurt?

Spending months devising a strategy
For business in a major downturn
Needs careful thinking and planning
If you’re to get the best of returns.
On creative writing we wax lyrical,
And storytelling – we’ve got it sussed
To enhance employee engagement
Today they’re a corporate must.
