The Marshmallow Challenge

Input by Hollie McNish: Marshmallows. Climbing. Sick. Trees. Glowing.

Just like marshmallows

Once upon a time

There were families

of marshmallows ready –

waiting in line

Keen on climbing the trees,

when their branches shone…

…But they were not alone

there were families of Spaghettis

they adored to spike marshmallows

with a stick and a deadly dose

of heat – sautéed like meat.

And eaten by insatiable men -

Ravenous, insatiable men

All trees got sick of them.

They disappeared in a glowing heat

Just like marshmallows on a stick in flames

This was the end of all human “fuck-the-earth-games”

The Marshmallow Challenge

The Marshmallow Challenge is a remarkably fun and instructive design exercise that encourages teams to experience simple but profound lessons in collaboration, innovation and creativity.

If tonight were the last night

Teenager’s 1987 Apocalypse Poem)

(This is so amazingly sappy and cheesy. But the first two lines kept popping into my head today. So I dug out my old high school journal and there it was. The only thing I like about it is my correct use of the subjunctive. LOL)

If tonight were the last night

I’d spend it with you

I’d hold you in my arms

While the ocean ran blue

If tonight were the last night

I’d kiss you forevermore

and I’d swear to you that night

That my love would endure

If tonight were the last night

I’d pray that it would never end

I’d sing to you and talk to you

About all the time we’d spend

If tonight were the last night

We’d hold hands in the park

and hope beyond all hope

That it would always stay dark

If tonight were the last night

We’d dream of a home together

Those are the things we’d do

If the last night would last forever

Yvonnes poem reminded me of this song:
