fairy tales

Today I discovered

The joy of telling stories

About work – stress, strife, friction, disappointment, grit, determination, discipline

As if I were a hero on an epic journey

And this peninsula a mystical wonderland.

The board? Giants. 

The cache? A pot of gold. 

The investors? Elves, with varied personalities 

And fickle traits. 

The flawed model? A broken sword, 

A deadline a scheduled battle. 

Dwarves, with shoddy craftsmanship. 

A cursed princess and a cartoonish snow leopard cub. 

An enchanted bug, a poisoned toadstool. 

And dragons to slay.

I can speak in allegories.

Convert the droll drama to a crafted entertainment

for someone else’s benefit. 

A quarter turn from complaint to hero’s journey. 

Myths and legends over cocktails.
