StartupCafe

I wanted to do some serious writing yesterday but try as I might I could not get past an alternative form of writers block. It wasn’t like my mind was blank.  If only! Nope, I had hit a wall of rhythm and random phrases that would NOT let me pass!  On my home I decided to give the nonsense some expression by allowing it to be dumped onto my notepad, in the hope that the mental spillage would clear my mind for more serious works.  Here at Startupcafe we do promise a side helping of silliness with our other content. So, ready to see what landed on my pad?

Ode to a developer

I want to help your business

I want to see it grow

But when I ask for info

The developers say ‘No!’

They do it with their vagueness

They do it with their sneers

And when they’re done ignoring me

They ask me to fetch beers!

I wonder if they get it

I wonder if they care

Ignoring non-developers

Simply isn’t fair!

We work here for a reason

We work here ‘cos we know

Communicating your product

Can help your business grow!

 ——

A developer’s retort

Building applications

Can be a tricky thing

We really need to concentrate

On what we are making!

But on the verge of breakthrough

You decide to come along

Break our concentration &

Ask “what has gone wrong?”!

You ask us for an update

And when we’ve stuff to say

We do our best to tell you

But you don’t get it anyway!

Rapid evolution

Is in the nature of our job

It’s the reason for the vagueness

So shut your bloody gob!

We didn’t mean to say that

Didn’t mean to be so rude

Pulled another over-nighter

So can’t behave as best we should!
