For all the managers out there

Our Securities Regulation Professor shared with us a story from a Dr. Seuss book that I hadn't heard before. This comes from the book "Did I Ever Tell You How Lucky You Are?" It is dedicated to all the business majors out there, the new crop of "bee watchers." Here it is:

Oh, the jobs people work at!
Out west, near Hawtch-Hawtch,
there's a Hawtch-Hawtcher Bee-Watcher.
His job is to watch . . .
is to keep both his eyes on the lazy town bee.
A bee that is watched will work harder, you see.
Well . . . he watched and he watched.
But, in spite of his watch,
that bee didn't work any harder. Not mawtch.
So then somebody said,
"Our old bee-watching man
just isn't bee-watching as hard as he can.
He ought to be watched by another Hawtch-Hawtcher.
The thing that we need
is a Bee-Watcher-Watcher."

WELL . . .

The Bee-Watcher Watcher watched the Bee-Watcher.
He didn't watch well. So another Hawtch-Hawtcher
had to come in as a Watch-Watcher-Watcher.
And today all the Hawtchers who live in Hawtch-Hawtch
are watching on Watch-Watcher-Watchering-Watch,
Watch-Watching the Watcher who's watching that bee.
You're not a Hawtch-Hawtcher. You're lucky you see.

In case you're interested, you can always get it at Amazon.com (remember, I get a referral fee ):
