of a company in 1852 (here)
10 of 12 given words:
flight assault power strip right
cast doubt contract board risk
care for a flight of fancy
with a direct assault on power
make a way out real easy
bring the expectations lower
strip off measures of strength
with the right to resist the stance
cast a doubt to review at length
there is still a fighting chance
since the contract is binding
new normal is an inspiration
the Board finds it tempting
to seek likes of arbitration
mindful of sinister elements
lurking in the dark recesses
to striking at weak moments
given half a chance of access
invoke a new thinking
risk a catalyst in bad times
sacrifice in the beginning
big money comes at the end

Right now I'm sure most are hoping any money comes in the end.
ReplyDeleteMoney in the end would sure be grand indeed.
ReplyDeleteWell done, Hank!
ReplyDeleteIndeed, well done. I enjoyed reading it, and money would be pretty nice! Excellent take on the prompt(s). I also enjoyed how you employed the rhyme scheme for the ballad. It's fantastic.
ReplyDeleteWell I hope it turns out for the best with that big money!
ReplyDeleteInteresting take on the prompt and nice to see that vaguely sinister-looking Board of Directors from 1852!
ReplyDeleteWonderful Hank, well done.
ReplyDeleteYvonne.
Sounds like a Ponzi scheme to me. They need a woman on the board!!
