Here is a young man, alert
And vigorous in responding
To all current affairs;
Clear-sighted and widely erudite
He is unwearied student indeed
Of the MBA's faculty.
Can he be compared
To a truly intelligent manager?
This young man is truly to one
Of the well-trained managers,
But as the bustling underling
Of an established company,
He is forced to toil his body
And daily distress his mind
With various contrivances
And tricks of the trade in many
He resorts to in order
To remain in staying afloat.

What I am saying is that the Master of Business Administration is primarily only useful as a foot in the door in organizations and businesses that are already successful. And as your poem suggests, have to be very nimble to navigate the political structure that always infects these organizations.
