Fantastic to watch, impossible to describe,
A poetry slam about non-profit ROI
The groups that take blogs and facebooks and twitters
And turn them to saving both people and critters
Spun iambics and rhymes around all their banter
In this panel assembled by (brilliant) Beth Kanter
They told of Twestivals, LoL Seals, and Apps
That raised money, awareness, and the eyebrows of chaps
In management who aren’t down with the groove
Of using these cool social marketing tools
They took tweets from the audience, how cool is that?
And one of them wore that cat hat cat’s hat!
I loved it, I learned stuff, I had a great time
And yeah, I was the guy who was tweeting in rhyme.
Beth’s Blog has the full text of the poems and links to the organisations and campaigns.
A couple samples:
