The Head And The Tail’s Tale

Is there anyone out there who would like to be the tail? Of course, the answer will be a resounding NO! The World hates the tail with a passion, but everybody loves the head. But we forget that to be the Head or to be served, one must learn to serve others first.

Yeah, a bit like learning before earning or stooping to conquer if you like.

This poem plays the metaphor game with Head and Tail to show that leadership is service. A leader is a servant like the Head to the body. For the Head to Head, its tail must be a good tale.

The Head

It Comes In Different Shapes And Sizes-

Big Or Small,

Round, Oblong or Square

The Head Is The Brain box Of The Body

Without The Head

The Body Will Not Function

Indeed, The Saying Is True

‘’Kill The Head And The Body Will Die’’

The Reason All Pugilists Go For Their Opponents’ Head

And The Result Is A T.K.O (Technical Knock Out)!

The Head

Big Or Small

The Size Does Not Determine Success Or Failure

Many A Fool Have Big Heads

Many A Leader Have Small Heads

Many Success Stories Have Small Heads

And Many Failures Have Big Heads

The Head

Like The C.P.U Of A Computer

It’s The Information Embedded In The Head

That Determines Its Potency And Success

Garbage In, Garbage Out

Not The Shape Nor The Size

The Head

It Is The Most Vital Part Of The Body

It Is The Servant To 5 Critical Parts –

The Brain – The Server Of The Body

The Eyes – The Light Of The Body

The Nose – The Inlets For Breadth And Smell

The Ears – The ‘Antennae’ For Receiving Signals

The Mouth – The Orifice For Our Daily Bread And Communication

Oh, What Can We Do Without The Head?

The Head

Another Synonym For ‘First’ ‘Major’ ‘Principal’ ‘Numero Uno’

The Head Of A Family Is The Father

The Head Of A School Is The Principal

The Head Of A Company Is The Managing Director / C.E.O

The Head Of A Country Is The President

Oh, What Can We Do Without The Head?

The Head

Whether Of The Body, Place Or Country

Is The Most Sensitive, Responsible And Susceptible

Only Divine Protection Saves The Head

For To Kill The Head

Is To Destroy The Body, Place Or Country

The Head

Where The Head Suffers A Headache

Who Dares To Cut Off The Head?

When The Head Goes Gaga

Who Dares To Cut Off The Head?

For A Wise Man Catches A Fish By The Head

And Another Kills A Snake By Its Head

The Head

The Pen Is Mightier Than The Sword

Is An Eulogy To The Might Of The Head

As Against The Futility Of Brute Strength

Like The Futility Of A Goliath Against David

The Head

It Deserves Every Respect And Accolade

The Head Of A Kingdom Is The King

The Head Wears The Crown

And To Wear The Crown

The Head Must Stoop To Conquer

Herein Lies The Tale Of The Tail – Leadership Means Service

The Head

It Is The Opposite Of The Tail

Everybody Abhors The Tail Like A Curse

For Tail Is A Picture Of ‘’Bottom’’ ‘’Lowest’’ ‘’Rear Part’’

But For The Head To Head

It Must First Tail Along

To Tell The Head A Tale For Success

The Tail’s Tale Must Be Hailed For True Leadership
