Come on down and dunk Melissa Crocker,
You don’t even need to be off your rocker.
All you need to bring is 2 single bills,
Then you can see if the tank water spills.
Come on down and you get the job done,
Start dunking her, it starts off at one.

Next in the tank is Kim Clingman,
She makes sure your phone keeps ringin’
Command those thee fast balls her way,
I’m sure you will just make her day.
It’s more fun than a double bidie,
Bring $2 Smackeroos at One Thirty.

Sheri, our Communications Lead,
You can talk to her with the balls speed.
She’s a big fan of all sorts of dragons,
Go show her another kind of welcome wagon.
You know what to do,
Go dunk her at Two.

Next for dunking is a Lead named Tiffany,
You better hurry up and have an epiphany.
Divine leading or needing to see her splash,
Get yourself down there and spend some hard earned cash.
You might be thinking I’m getting a bit wordy,
That’s OK, just show up at the tank at Two Thirty.

Next to walk the plank is Sandy Hayes,
Drop her in, while she’s catching some rays.
Third supervisor to drop into the drink,
Stop and by and let her know what you think.
It’s great fun, I am sure you will agree,
So buy some balls, she’s going in at Three.

Michael and Ken are making a rare guest appearance,
Keep checking so they don’t run interrferance.
Those Cowboy fans may try to make s dash,
Before you ever get a chance to spend your cash.
They may be to the tank anytime now,
So try checking your sources, somehow.

The one lone brave manager, Mary Chung,
Is about to be sitting on the top rung.
Waiting for her chance to take a dip,
Throw some balls at a pretty fast clip.
Heave them balls fast, later give an insaity plea,
What am I talking about? She’s at half past Three?

Gayle may have lost her nerve,
Janet Wilson has fielded the curve.
With a moments notice she steps out into the gap,
Janet's ready to plunge into the watery trap.
All the dunk tank players, what a potpouri!
Nonsense and gibberish, drop her at half past Three.


Larry Leeper, our morning sleeper,
Is now in the tank, it getting cheaper.
No, it’s stil 3 for $2
Show him what you can do,
The Tank is almost through.

Names in Poem changed from original names.

Okay, GREAT poem James to get employees to attend dunking game....um, listen do YOU get dunked:D???? Ya know as in:

Come on down and watch JAMES get wet,
this will be the best one yet:D

(of course just kidding James.......I do hope you are laughing.....and obviously you can see I'm NO poet)....

I think it was a good little rhyme. I didn't get dunked. It was mainly supervisors and managers who volunteered, I was not asked. What I did was send out an email with one of the verses, about 10 minutes before the next 1/2 hour. So they were getting one 6 line poem about every 30 minutes. After I compiled it together and posted it here. Just trying to inject some fun and interest into the event.

Was it well received????:)

Yes, everyone who has said anything has made very positive comments.

And so there ya go James....:)

So here's what you can do....Make some business cards that say "Private Poetry For Any Occasion".....and hand them out.....

In other words, you might be able to make a few extra dollars doing what you did for your work.....only at home.....People having parties need some cool flyers with poetic advertisements on them......YOU are their man for the job....!!

Hrmm...Jimmmaaa...you said nothing of the wet t-shirt contest immediately following the dunking :D

Well, I was not out there for the actually dunking....It was about 102 degrees yesterday. I was inside, doing the poetry thing...:)
