Business Poetry

[MillB@aol.com]

Greetings!

I'm currently working with some business/engineering majors who have to get
through a literature class.  I have been struggling to find work that relates
to. . . er. . .um. . .their world.  

Very Accessible, if possible.  

What I'm looking for are poems and short stories which deal (indirectly or
directly) with work ethics, working people, the oil business, engineering,
pipes and gadgets, business meetings, offices, etc. . .

If anyone has any GREAT ideas, please send them to the list!  As an example
of what I am looking for, the last poem I showed them was "The Unwritten" by
WS Merwin. . . I got them interested by saying that it was a poem about a
pencil.  I also used a short story called "Orientation" which was in the Best
American Short Stories anthology.

Thanks in advance!
