"The path to success
is through networking,"
you tell me as
you lead me to the door
and pat me on the back
and hand me a cigar.

"Yes, it tastes awful.
Yes, it feels bad.
But everyone who's everyone
spends their time in here."
Because everyone they think of
spends their time in here,
as far as they can see
through the smoke they blow.
