Dennis Group LTD
Doubt and dismay
Were the dominant expressions
Of our motley Monteverde troop
An intricate canopy
Sheltering disgruntled New Yorkers…
Merry Christmas & Welcome
To Dennis Group
* * *
Ten steps into the jungle
We were already stuck
Scanning ferns for a bird
The size of a puck
Unlike squab of Manhattan,
A Quetzal’s chest is proud
It’s crimson and jolly
It’s merry and loud
But if TikTok was named
As a joke about time
Lost ‘tween Tik and Tok
No bird would we find
Dennis stayed steady
– Hence we take his name –
Set on earning “top guide”
Purveyor of untame
Tour groups were still clustered
On that ancient farm path
Guides ever-intent
To not spot Quetzal last
An ambitious young lady
– The chess star of our group –
Turned straight toward the forest
And soaked in the view
The chess must have paid out
For against the deep green
She located scarlet
Perched up on a tree!
Dennis was astounded
He marveled at how
Yet, he was not jealous:
“I’m so happy right now!”
Sure, payout was smaller
For those watching the clock
But still, it’s a gift
To have a guide you can mock!
Yet Dennis’s schedule
Is not something to tease
His days are as jammed
As New York’s busiest bees:
At four, Dennis rises
And sets out on his run
Gallops ‘till 30K
Then figures he’s done
After, it’s tour time
– Sometimes three, sometimes more –
Sees panthers in darkness
Before his first snore
Well… Back to our tour:
Two Ukranian parents
Press a man in the group
It’s the usual question:
“What do you do?”
Fiscal phrases exchange
Words a jungle shan’t hear
“Equity” & “Leverage”
Chess Player: “..Oh dear.”
The duo was tickled
“We’re McKinsey, you see.”
No charge for the info
It appeared to be free
As financial prattle
Turned to recent headlines
Dennis gently inhaled
Contemplating lush vines
