Wise confusion died with the fool.
Now (literal, present tense)
Gravity-filled heads of common sense
File through the doors of the business school.
Earnest, busy, streamlined in sharkskin/snakeskin,
Clear-headed Edmunds, patent-pated,,

Ideas are for marketing, not to think in.
This school has no desks for the sweetly bitter.
One must be clear cut.
Ambiguity doesn’t sell: its shop is shut;
Commerce demands wits leaner and fitter.
