So you want to be a star

But you are still too chicken

And you think you can’t be anything

But another rooster or a hen

 

Sign up for this one course meal

Of soul soup for the scared

Where all your flaws will come to light

And all your strengths be bared

 

They call it a pep up course

And charge you a tidy sum

And promise to take you up the rungs

To CEO from  just a bum

 

They’ll tell you what to work on

And what signals to ignore

Listen up, don’t fall asleep

If you do, atleast don’t snore!

 

Now you’re ready to take on the world

Your chest and mind inflated

Your dreams take on so many hues

That your pupils are dilated

 

Hope it helps you with your interview

Or that elusive promotion

If you don’t make it, doesn’t matter…

They’ll find you a soup kitchen!!
