A Poem: Bean Counters

2023 年 4 月 12 日

英文中bean counters的意思是——會計。我當時在跟一群會計師開會，無聊之際速寫了這首詩。

A room of bean counters

are debating —

which color of beans is the best

some vote for green

others favor red

no one proposes yellow

I am thinking about something different —

Beans make you fart

Here is the rub —

there is no bean in the room;

an elephant, yes.

A room of bean counters

keep on arguing

about the non-existent

fart-fermenting beans.
