The H.P. Lovecraft Strategic Advantage

[k-j]

Let's touch base to right-size our paradigm
and think outside the box, lest we despair
of cosmic fear and protoplasmic slime.

Through shafts of nighted mystery we climb
to hear an eldritch fungal voice declare:
"let's touch base to right-size our paradigm,

at 14:10 Pacific Standard Time."
Not all stakeholders have been made aware
of cosmic fear and protoplasmic slime,

seamless best-practices, or the sublime
Cyclopean water-city of R'lyeh:
let's touch base to right-size our paradigm

and action our core competencies. I'm
afraid I've had as much as I can bear
of cosmic fear and protoplasmic slime,

but value-added synergies are prime,
robust and blasphemous. Iä! Iä!
Let's touch base to right-size our paradigm
of cosmic fear and protoplasmic slime.

This feels as though it ought to be for Lovecraft initiates only - of whom I am not one - but it was so much fun I couldn't help enjoying it. Even though all sort of finer details must have passed me by.

Cheers

I am!

Very enjoyable k-j. Great idea likening the two equally impenetrable language forms - the Lovecraft mythos and management speak.

So excellent.

But then all the villanelles have been so excellent. I'm very impressed and not at all drunk.

Maaaaagnificent!

Perfectly lovely, k-j!

Lovecraft is one of my all-time heroes, so this hit straight home with me.
Yes of course, it's the argot of R'lyeh they speak in the boardrooms. What else?
lä! lä! indeed.
May Cthulhu smile on you. (I do.)

Ha, I thought there'd be a few HPL fans lurking on PG.

Great lines.
Made me laugh, in a good way, I enjoyed it.
