No Comment

If your brand of product poisons people, kills a few;
If it is unsafe and turns the lips a deadly blue;
If contaminated, full of fungus or of brine,
Simply keep your mouth shut and all comments do decline.
Do not say you’re guilty or you’re innocent – remain
Still, and be as quiet as a bowl of cold chow mein.
Soon the social media will move to something new
And you’ll be forgotten like a postcard from Peru.
Maybe you will pay a fine, but that’s about the limit.
That yearly bonus to the board?  You’ll barely have to trim it.
The public has a memory with the lifespan of a snowflake,
Unless reporters stir it up and lots of muck and woe rake.
To those with shoddy products, who see naught but bottom line:
if you must do something have your spokesperson resign!
