Takes dedication—
effort, time management,
and self-discipline (the unglamorous kind).
The payoff usually shows up as blisters,
a few bruises, and the occasional puncture wound.
Plus deep-knee bends, squats,
ducking under the prickly bushes.
The result is rewarding—
but limited to the growth hours left in this season.
Leadership
It seems
doesn’t ask for any of that.
Unless you count sleeplessness,
ranting in the wee hours,
collecting enemies (including faith leaders),
choosing a gift for the dictator’s
birthday party,
starting wars, grabbing oil,
suing the government, and cutting deals
which, for some, is apparently easy.
Go team.
No kneepads required.
