I have a sense that sympathetic synergies,
has quarterly expanded into an affinity
and mutual cardiovascular connections.
As proactive measure I hereby testify
with double signatures on this certificate
affirming my affection, and I’m now awaiting
a confirmation for my confident proposal.
This letter does not constitute a commitment,
and your claims on my estate cannot yet be made.
Courtship the Proposal by Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema
Tony will keep the bar tonight at dVerse MTB, and he asks us to write poetry using Jargon, Buzzwords and Management-Speak!. I wonder if this love-letter would ever get a positive response.. or there might be a reason why she left with the plumber.

ha… mutual cardiovascular connections and sympathetic synergies… i do hope he gets a positive feedback even though i would be a bit skeptical if someone proposed to me with double signed certificate and all… ha
Especially with a disclaimer on the bottom..
Bjorn, I don’t think he’s going to get far with that proposal. Funny piece. 😀 — Suzanne
too fun . . . I used to hate all the jargon and buzzwords when I worked at a company. I’ll have to try and remember them and see if I can come up with something.
I don’t think I would be impressed with this proposal. No romance in those words….so I assume the poor woman would be in for a mundane life which would be run by the ‘rules’ of business. Zzzzzzzz.
Just love the way you have used the lingo, Björn! The ‘double signatures on this certificate’ made me smile. In education there is also a lot of jargon and sometimes it feels as if it is just that jargon hiding emptiness.
got a chuckle out of your comment about “she left with the plumber”. Fun poem!
Ha! Such a fun read. That last bit made me laugh: “your claims on my estate yet cannot be made”.
Wonderful. 🙂
The pre pre-nuptial agreement is born … smiles. Somehow, I think that the likelihood of the desired outcome is low.
Oh what fun! Yep, this reminds me of the prenuptial agreement…
Mind you, I used to correct the love-letters written for me (yes, with a red pen – their grammar and spelling was atrocious).
Ha.. Maybe you would have accepted a love-letter like this (though it probably contain a few errors)
Brother, this one cooks & giggles at the same time; like a piece of dialogue right out of the TV sitcom, THE BIG BANG THEORY; exquisitely clever, perfect yet gentle rocking of of the prompt. As you know my jargonese rant screamed Beat It for three pages, overwhelming the reader with 40 pieces (+) of gobblygook-speak.
oh no, is someone trying to rip you off?
focused implementation
wow!!! a big huge wow!!! This piece is my favorite.
You sir have blown me away with your creative words. 🙂
I am smiling as I read this ~ Very clever Bjorn ~ Would love to join but my brain is not cooperating ~
Very clever…she was smart not to sign 🙂
Love letters are passe. You just put it on the end of a memo these or text these days.
What are you doing next weekend? I feel like getting married.
When couples split….they just text.
I’m leaving you…have changed the locks!
It’s a different world. I’m glad my courtship days are over.
i liked the mix of new words and old ideas in this
great post…hears hoping that she said…NO…love it!
This is fabulous and gets to the heart of the problem with management speak.
Very clever usage of words & smart poem! 🙂
Witty and ready for play scenario…
Hahaha- true love.
A brilliant melange of oh-so-familiar expressions makes intriguing reading.
haha a modern day pre-nup ..comes with double signatures..something tells me she will say no..I didn’t
participate in the prompt I’ve been sick for a few days.
Great write Bjorn! You’ve caught the typical terminology very often associated with pen-pushers hoping to intimidate others. That is true in countless memos in the filing cabinets.

LoL..the plumbers have it…loved that last bit too.
Ha! Very good – what a fun and thoughtful write. Though, corporate jargon is the worst, I think, because it actually can have really serious consequences – mesmerizing investors as their pension funds and life savings are tossed to the winds . . . while the paradigm shifts to allow for a correction in order to maximize core competency . . . primarily . . .
