I am
Supreme knight of the fictitious spreadsheet.
Principal powerpoint scrambler.
Head of the pencils and notebooks.
Your technician and dreamer.
I am
First of diluters and tutor in dubious rhymes.
Magician of meters and yards,
Mixer of attar and amber.
Sentinel of tense and keeper of keys.
I am
King of the essence in spades
Prime peppermint peasant, muddler of mint.
Second assistant to the guru of ambiguous facts.
Unless when awake, I just work in
procurement.
The magician (Self-portrait with four arms) by René Magritte
Rommy wants us to write poems regarding titles at work at toads. Had some fun with this.

I particularly loved those lines …. but damn! I still can’t stop laughing … oh my, please, don’t give up your day job, to be sure, but don’t *ever* stop writing the poetry etc. – this totally rocks!
This was so delightful! I adore the fun tone here and the ending was a hoot. Yes, alas I do not get an assortment of bladed weapons as a marketing ninja, but I did get a couple of slices from agressive paperwork. Loved this!
this brought a big smile… Supreme knight of the fictitious spreadsheet.

this so reminded me of someone I know… 🙂
Very enjoyable indeed. Perfect response to prompt. Salute!
Wow you sound like [a great poet]
(✿◠‿◠)
much love…
Such a delight. This made me smile hugely. Well done Sir Bjorn.
This was the best laugh of my day! The ending was delightful!
Delightful! So funny and very clever.
Fun read, Bjorn. I believe the last job. Thanks for the picture.

I’m grinning, Bjorn! Delightful and funny. I especially love ‘Principal powerpoint scrambler’ and ‘Second assistant to the guru of ambiguous facts’.
A delightful read!
That was a fun poem, Björn. So many great lines in this one, but I think my favorite was “Second assistant to the guru of ambiguous facts.” Well done. 🙂
What a perfect picture to match the job descriptions – I guess everyone has to be a Jack of All Trades these days.
I love your job titles, especially “your technician and dreamer”. One must keep one’s dreams, even among the spreadsheets.
Brilliant wordplay, Bjorn! Wonderful use of hyperbole to set up that “back-to-earth” final line!
