The Takeover King - Senryu Sequence Poem by Sandra Martyres

Sparks flew right across
The full length of the Board Room
Spelling doom for all

First the CEO
Followed by the CFO
Then the Directors

As the rumours spread
Like wildfire everywhere
Employees shuddered

But one lone person
Smiled quietly and that was
The takeover king

He made commitments
To mop up shares quick and cheap
An ownership bid

Well ethics be damned
Was his mantra for success
When taking fresh stakes

Focus on the end
The means are not important
Is his take on life
