13 Themed Entertainment Haiku
By Tupaq Cadahy
Regular (and irregular) readers of DeScope may have noticed a general lack of, shall we say, high arsty-fartsy-ness to the pieces that appear here. In an effort to give the illusion of raising the level of DeScope, we offer this, the DeScope poetry pages, to the discriminating and discriminated online reading public.
Thank you.

1.)
- The charette -
Concepts! Big ideas!
Squat budgets . . .
2.)
- Your clients:
Want Disney-style fun -
For no dough.
3.)
- Bean counters:
"No marketing hook!"
Budget's gone.
4.)
- Whack-A-Mole
The mid-way your home.
What? A dollar?
5.)
- Two hour wait?
Longer still. Space Mountain:
101
6.)
- The Thrill Seeker,
Hoping no one sees,
Riding on Dumbo
7.)
- The Corn Dog:
Clogger of heart valves . . .
Gimmie two, please!
8.)
- From this point
The queue seems endless.
And it is . . .
9.)
- The "theme" in
"Theme Parks?" Maybe it's
"marketing?"
10.)
- Tilt-A-Whirl,
A large cotton-candy -
Oh, so sick.
11.)
- Creatives,
Against tiny budgets
Fight in vain.
12.)
- The writer,
In crafting treatments,
Is ignored.
13.)
- Your career -
Themed Entertainment?
Beats real work!
