Management is
to find a nice reason
about your being late for a 9:30 meeting
when you wake up 9:00.
Management is
to stay committed to hard study
after the professor said to you,
“You did not submit somebody’s paper, didn’t you?”
during class,
after you spent two weeks drafting and visited the writhing center two times
for a paper about the impeachment of Bush.
Management is
to get the information that you need
when an academic counselor suddenly yells at you
“WHY DID YOU NEED TO COME BACK HERE? WHY? WHY?”
on the fifth floor.
Management is
to do your best for your clients
when your boss says,
“Your mistakes are too stupid. I don’t know why I am paying to you”
for the mistakes he made.
Management is
to keep smiling
when you are in the NY Department of Motor Vehicles office in Manhattan.
Management is
to write a poem
about something, you think, is the opposite of art or can not be a poem
for your management class
at 1:20 AM Monday morning.

an interesting peom indeed.
Cute! I liked how there was some rhyme to your poem, and the fact that you covered all different topics- ranging from academics, work, patience waitin on a line that never moves... Indeed being a good manager entails more than just being good in one aspect. Hopefully this class helped your managerial skills!
Good luck with finals :D
What is management?
I really liked your poem, especially the way you interacted with the professor. It was really funny and got everyone’s attention. It looks like you have had your share of management problems, so I wish you luck in the future.
