    Yahoo employee turns to bad poetry

    What's the only thing worse than another "Open Letter to Jerry Yang?" A freaking poem to Jerry Yang. Shakespeare was so much better at this, plus he didn't put his vanity site's URL in the final stanza.

    dear mr. yang,
    i am double o'trouble
    you may remember me
    from the 1.0 bubble

    you held on to me then
    despite all the chaos
    please spare me from
    the 2.0 layoff

    even though times call
    for you to be frugal
    don't leave me for dead
    like your deal with google

    i have little saved
    i'm facing foreclosure
    i NEED this job
    to keep my composure

    i've increased in value
    unlike my shares
    plus i have more skills
    than ballmer has hairs

    i can save yahoo!
    i have vision and moxie
    and more plans for business
    than guy kawasaki

    i stood up for you
    called bloomberg unfair
    when cuban suggested
    that you grow a pair

    so please spare my job
    from the release
    wait, what? googles hiring?
    i'm outta here, peace

    from double o'trouble,
    founder of http://www.stealthyourself.com
