In Xanadu Did Kubla Khan A Stately PowerPoint Decree

 

In Xanadu did Kubla Khan
A stately PowerPoint decree: 
For VP of Logistics, Stan
And key stakeholders of the plan
For scaling in Q3.

So ninety slides so media-rich
With animations on every switch. 
And here were slides rife with sinuous clip art
Where blossomed many a stick figure with a key; 
And here a line, pie, scatter, and bar chart, 
Enfolding watermarked stock photography. 
But oh! that massive romantic flowchart which raked
Down multiple slides athwart notes of automation! 
A savage place! as convoluted and opaque
As e’er beneath a waning moon was haunted
By a manager wailing for best practices for escalation!
