SOBCon Bad Poetry: Ode to Troy Worman

Filed Under SOB Business, Successful Blog | 2 Comments

For Troy of the 23 Blog Designs a Day

In a hotel, northeast of Wendy’s usual location,
on May 11-12, you’ll be finding Troy Worman in Orbit around a another new blogging creation.

These days, I wonder whether Orbit man, Troy Worman, somehow cast a spell on five folks to get SOBCon to start.
Could be that he wanted a chance to meet Ann Michael and Steve Farber at an event that was built from both head and heart?

Orbit Man, did you secretly plan SOBCon to have somewhere to link?
Orbit Man, your power, your glory, your constant design changes make flowers stand tall and weeds shrink.

A ways east of where David Armano lives is the hotel where bloggers will descend.
That the Wor-man has decreed loudly about the 10 Reasons to Attend

Then you point to the Phil Gerbyshak on SOBcon at Essential Keystrokes interview
Char and so many others know link love is always coming from just about everything you do.

Orbit Man, did you secretly plan SOBCon to have somewhere to link?
Orbit Man, your power, your glory, your constant design changes make bloggers smile, investigate, and think.

So I write this bad poetry to you, Mr. Worman, Orbit Now! Man.
I’ve made it a mission. I gave myself permission. I’ve made up my mind.
I’m going to meet the guy, who is so generous, because I need to know
if he changes his clothes as often as he changes his blog design.

Thanks, Troy, for everything.
