So you see the title, Typhoon Tycoon, and you think to yourself, “Self. That’s obviously the most important thing I’ve got to read today. So, read it NOW!”

Am I right? Yes?

I knew it. Because who wouldn’t wanna know more about such an odd topic?

But now that you’re here I gotta tell ya. It was a ruse. A ploy. A diversion to make you look at my left hand while my right hand performed the magic. And that’s the key today.

To get you to look somewhere else. And change up your routine to add more love and care. For yourself. And for your neighbor. Here’s my recommendation.

As you go through your day today, as you check your texts, instant messages, social media accounts, YouTube and Instagram videos, and even your eCommerce stats, take a pause.

Look up. Look around. Pay attention to the ones you love. And talk to them. Embrace. Laugh. Enjoy the time. They won’t be here forever. And you won’t either. But you’ll all be somewhere forever. So, talk about that. And be sure where you’re going. Because it matters more than any other message you’ll receive from any other source.

Are you good to go? Then, I’ll tell you…

The Tale of the Typhoon Tycoon

Lorenzo Lanune, the Tycoon,
Stored his gold inside a typhoon.
Though most thought he must be a loon,
He trusted his moolah monsoon.
Each day he’d compose a new tune.
At night, on his contrabassoon,
He’d play, by the light of the moon,
And birds from Kowloon to Rangoon
Flocked to trees to listen and croon.

And every third week the tycoon
Put more gold inside his typhoon.
And it turned into a balloon
That looked like a golden doubloon.
Then, one day, exactly at noon,
In the month there’d be a blue moon,
He sailed away from his lagoon,
On the wild winds of his typhoon,
Like the famous fork and the spoon.

See, Lorenzo was not immune
To the words in a local tune
Where they called him a picaroon.
It’s not likely he’ll return soon.
The lyrics were like a harpoon
Intended to lightly lampoon.
So Lorenzo left a festoon
On the statue of John Calhoun,
And he turned into a cartoon.
