Palladian Pineapple Poem
My employer, Palladian Partners, holds monthly meetings at which one order of business is temporarily awarding a trophy, the Palladian Pineapple (not literally given during the shutdown). It's like Employee of the Month except that the previous winner chooses the next winner. Last month, I won for the first time and decided that I should do like some previous presenters and write a poem for the handoff. At yesterday's meeting, I recited the following:
With an M.A. and S.Psy.S.,
She handles matters at work with finesse.
I’ve found her amiable and polite
As she gives me guidance on how to write.
She ensures that everything’s clarified
In the All of Us Research Program guide.
And so, at this meeting, it gives me joy
To pass the pineapple to Chris Guilfoy.
