Twas the night ‘fore the demo and all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, ‘cept my SE and their mouse;
I’d proposed a big licensing deal with great care
In hope that a big order soon would be there;
Management was restless and not in their beds
As visions of bonuses danced in their heads;
And my VP with their forecast and me with my own,
Had just started a long EOQ roam,
When out from my mobile there came a great tone,
I sprang from my chair to answer my phone,
What could it be? Was it good news or no?
A last-minute order? A contract? PO?
