MAN WITH A PLAN

a man
a plan
a canal
panama
try reading that phrase backwards
amanaplanacanalpanama
and see what you get
neat, huh?
what is known apparently as a pallindrome
hannah
now there's another one
so now you know how we named the woodle...
at the moment
yours fiery drawing up a different plan
a plan for a busyness no less
a little private enterprise i'm trying to get off the ground
like a modern-day wright brother
been playing around with missions n visions
values n goals
sizing up the market
exchanging the stratocaster for a strategy
even started a night school class
- on a satterday morning
i dunno
this is virgin territory for me
but so far i'm digging it
no boss to answer to
(except the missus of course
and maybe the bank manager at some point)
no underlings to motivate either
nope - the buck stops with fireseed
the big idea is to offer green audits
an eco advisory service
to help folks deal with the climate beast
and turn it to their advantage
to swim rather than sink
as the icecaps melt and the floodwater rises
i already got an interested client lined up
a good chance to test the water
before i plunge in
t'other idea i got
just so as not to put all my tofu into one basket
is to run workshoppes
same gig really
but here's where the electric kind of strat comes in handy
(actually a les paul copy
but most of em won't know the difference)
cos my aim is to make this whole damn topic a bit more rock n roll
i mean
who wants a load of forgettable stats chucked in their direction
and then be told they gotta give everything up
and live like a monk?
not me
not the kids
not anybody!
the whole message gotta be rethought
we gotta make it more sexy somehow
make it compelling
turn some heads
exploit the human angle
win over the hearts not just the heads
because i don't need to spell out the alternative scenario to ya
the one where the punters just tune out
turn off
and drive away into the sunset in their 4wds
sending our kids' futures up in smoke
so these workshops ain't gonna be yer normal sleepfest
yer 'listen to me and look at my slides' jobby
fireseed gonna hit em with guitar riffs
comedy songs n moving stories
models, props n theatre
stuff that no-one can ignore
a message so affecting that no-one can remain unmoved
hey - i feel this is gonna be something good, friends
the more i think about it
the more i think i can make this baby work
start-up costs are minimal
overheads low
but i know i gotta make it watertight
keep my eye on the ball
hence the plan, stan...
