I feel honored to have generated such response from a whimsical haiku I put 2 minutes of thought into.

Anon 5/7/09 @4:39: That’s not even close to a Haiku. And ironically, I was stating facts. Big 4 life is tough, and the people who don’t like it get out. The only part that annoys me is the whining after the fact. There’s a good chance I had it worse than most here during my 9 years in a Big 4, but I’ve never complained. Maybe it’s because I find it unseemly, maybe I find it unnecessary at this point.

Rezko: I liked your limerick. My thoughts are indeed very Machiavellian. Until you got to the oh-so-tired Kool-Aid cliche.

Anonymous limerick: Nice one. I like it. The last line is a bit awkward, but hey, it’s still pretty good. I do tend to be a contrarian, but on a blog with so many views slanted in one direction, there is benefit to the alternative view, yes?

Something from nothing
Always seemed so magical
Until it wasn’t.

New management fads
Fossilize, thus becoming
The Stoney Lonesome.

Seemed so good at first
The kool-aid has grown bitter
Time for office chat

I’ll go for a limerick…

There once was a poster named ClownCollege
who took contrarian opinions with full knowledge
that he would soon see
the Big Four turn to three
and a misplaced faith would he acknowledge

whining and stating the facts
two different things
the big 4 life is overrated
