You have come here
To conform to a presenting style
To convert what was meaningful content to sound bites
sound bites
I will show you
How to create a dot PPT file
The civilized world has already come to see
This is the way documentation was meant to be
Now you have been set free
One bullet thoughts in the template provided
provided
PowerPoint of no return
No backward glances
The ways we used to write are at an end
Complex thought is not allowed
Keep it simplistic
Abandon thought and let the slides begin
What catchy title shall fill the page?
What section headers are in store?
What neat production lies before us?
PowerPoint of no return
A frenzied slide show
The auto-content wizard went berserk
In the PowerPoint of no return
You have brought me
To a place paragraphs don’t apply
Where thoughtfully written reports disappear into sounds bites
sound bites
I had come here
Knowing only in-depth summaries
In my mind I’ve already distilled them to
Text boxes, smart art, and other such eye candy
Now I know what to do
One bullet thoughts in the template provided
provided
PowerPoint of no return
A never-ending slide show
With page to page transitions that annoy
Past all hope of knowledge gained
Zero retention
But with animated inserts to enjoy
Where the sub bullets run so deep
That half the listeners are asleep
While others squint at the small font size
PowerPoint of no return
The final version
The slides go on and on without adjourn
In the PowerPoint of no return
