 PANDERING TO THE ECOLOGICAL by Colin James


                                                  At the staff promotion 
                                                  it was someone's idea
                                                  to herd wild antelopes
                                                  through a narrow pass 
                                                  into a hastily built stockade. 
                                                  But those animals can jump, and did
                                                  killing several office workers instantly.
                                                  Mrs. Newman who collected the office fund
                                                  was the slowest running almost posthumously, 
                                                  and an intern we weren't sure really existed anyway.
                                                  The big boss down from corporate,
                                                  stood on a boulder screaming into a megaphone.
                                                  He had the look of conviction in those blue eyes.
