Teamwork

 

 

Eight pieces of a puzzle,

Each one a different shape

But bringing their differences together

A working unit will make.

 

Teamwork is what it’s called:

A working together whole

And while one alone can do nothing

Together they plant the pole.

 

Ants are a good example

As they work around their queen,

The bees surely are no different

And work as a well oiled team.

 

 

There is no such thing really

As a one-man team,

That kind of thinking is a nightmare

Not even a happy dream.

 

Choosing people like yourself

To work together with you

Will at the end of the day achieve little

Even with a common view.

 

Teamwork is a pulling together

Minds of diverse thinking

But with a common purpose in view

Doing the essential linking.

 

 

Heads together and hand in hand

With passion as their heart,

Working steadfastly as one

With each one doing his part.

 

Cooperation is the key

And not an obsession with self,

The team is the end all and be all

And that to me is top-shelf.
