What Is Accounting?...

ACCOUNTING IS…

Accounting is a piece of pie,
A bowl of cherries, smoked ham on rye,
A fertile seed, a drop of rain,
A problem solved, which comes again!

Accounting is a loaf of bread,
A chocolate malt, a table spread,
A sticky bun, a sunny day,
A laughing child in blissful play.

Accounting is a fine new suit,
A trumpet blast, snap-to salute,
A restful snooze, a banquet set,
An afternoon with friends just met.

Accounting is a mountain peak,
A waterfall, a winding creek,
A hungry grizzly held at bay,
A cloudless sky, a booming hooray!

Accounting is Red Sox baseball,
A cooling breeze, a supper call,
Accounting is a hearty laugh,
A tiny pooch, a large giraffe.

Accounting is a cat well fed,
A flock of geese, night sky that’s red,
A run, a hike, an auto race,
A silken gown, with frilly lace!

Accounting is so many things,
A lump of clay, a set of wings,
A way to classify expenses,
A scheme that’s used to build strong fences.

Accounting calls, and we must go,
A plan in mind, a tale of woe,
Accounting ends where we begin
A journey home, sweet rest to win!

This is dedicated to the Accounting teams of which I used to be a part, over more than fourteen years, and for whom I used to write bits of poetry!
