limerick: health speculation
People can’t stand the unknowns,
So to silence the gloom and doom groans,
Jobs wrote a terse letter
That said he’d get better.
It’s just a small glitch in his hormones.
We have officially outgrown haiku. That’s right, we’re moving on to limericks. Rhyming verse. Can you handle it?
The endless speculation about Jobs’s health says a lot about the public perceptions of him and his company. If Bill Gates announced tomorrow that he had terminal tertiary syphilis, would any Microsoft investors care? Do you think Google would tank if Eric Schmidt came down with a case of malaria? How about the CEO of Sun Microsystems? Can you even name the CEO of Sun Microsystems? Exactly.
Yeah, but how many of those companies are ruled with an iron fist? My understanding is that Jobs is very protective of his Apple company and he keeps himself as its hub.
