Vice President, Chauffeur, Butler In One Day

VICE PRESIDENT, CHAUFFEUR, BUTLER IN ONE DAY

It was the year 1989,

I was in my twenties looking quite fine,

older man Dave would use pen to sign,

contract to prevent envelope co.

from printing my greeting card Valentine.

Harvey who wrote “Swim with the Sharks”

had a salesman I left scared in the dark.

Salesman didn’t really know,

contract that says not to show.

To make this happen

I went to the Secretary of State,

Incorporated under

Sue Chevalier Originals

as the name.

Then I bought a suit for big tall Dave,

made him my

Vice President, Chauffeur, Butler

all in one day.

Driving down highway 280 we did get lost,

but luckily we found the envelope office.

Company door handle was in big gold letter M,

I walked through it with Dave my friend.

Going into a board room with world map on the wall,

sitting at a large board room table amazed with it all.

Then salesman walks in with himself and no pen,

I pull out a fancy one which I did lend.

Then Dave, salesman and me all did sign,

a Confidentiality Agreement sealing this date in time!

Laughing with a Score representative whose retired & old,

he said “Envelope co. can’t touch my designs with a 10 foot pole.”
