Ivanti Has Clever Things to Say on World Poetry Day (Part 1 of 2)
There's a lot going on in the world right now, and one thing we could all use a little more of is Clorox wipes. But also, poetry.
It just so happens that World Poetry Day is March 21, and to celebrate, we asked famed Ivanti poet Brent Bluth to start collecting poems from both customers and employees (read Part 2 here).
Sure, nothing we've received is exactly Maya Angelou quality, but last I checked C's got degrees. And participation trophies are well into their second or even third generation by now.
So in the spirit of gold stars for everyone, here are a few IT-related poems from our brilliant Ivanti Insiders.

I walk inside and heave a sigh. The lights the sounds, everyone's running around. I take my seat and crack my knuckles, "Those silly people" I chuckle. With a few simply strokes I am able to repair. All has not been lost, do not despair. No one remembers the IT lads gone by. Except for those of us heaving the sigh... |
