Death by PowerPoint
All around the world today and all across the nation
Each & every business and major corporations
Something we’re guilty of is causing such frustration
Endlessly enduring awful PowerPoint presentations

PowerPoint doesn’t have to stink
Great presentations can be easier than you think
Don’t drive the people out there right over the brink
Don’t let bad PowerPoint cause your ship to sink

Bullets they were made for guns, and guns were made for fighting
Bullets in your PowerPoint slides are just not so inviting
Standing up there reading text is simply not delighting
We assumed that you were literate; please give us some enlightening

Cartoons are made for fun with complex animations
Crazy spinning graphics can ruin your presentations
All that extra nonsense just causes irritation
Replace that silliness with expert observations

PowerPoint doesn’t have to suck
Great presentations ain’t got nothing to do with luck
Don’t leave people saying what the heck?
Don’t make us suffer through, yet another awful death by PowerPoint train wreck

Templates, logos, crazy fonts, and teeny tiny text
Clip art, broken hyperlinks, goofy sound effects,
Give something they will love not something they’ll reject
Think about your audience and treat them with respect

PowerPoint doesn’t have to stink
Great presentations can be easier than you think
Don’t drive the people out there right over the brink
Don’t let bad PowerPoint cause your ship to sink

PowerPoint doesn’t have to suck
Great presentations ain’t got nothing to do with luck
Don’t leave people saying what the heck?
No matter what you do, Please tell me it’s not true, Don’t make us suffer through, yet another awful death by powerpoint train wreck
