This poem is about a guy who works in a normal office who ttalks to a woman caled Minerva whom he loves but she will never love him back as the poet says he sings a 'ballad' (sad, lamenting song)!.
Minerva must work in the same place as the man does as the poet says 'from a cubicle in Accounting' as opposed to 'from a cubicle in work!.'
The poet compares the injustice of her not loving him in the last two lines, saying the injustice are like the onesthey have to deal with in Customer Services!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

What is your goal!? This is what I see:

Minerva is the Roman goddess of wisdom, technical skill, and invention: identified with the Greek Athena; the diminutive is Minnie!.

So, it appears you are seeking answers that aren't accessible from Accounting, and want to get Cust!. Serv!. to take care of the person calling and yelling because the accounting isn't right!.!.!.

My imagination is jumping; I've been unpacking and plugging in devices too long, now I just have to take a break!.!.!. sorry about drifting off there!.!.!.

I think the poem is perfect!.!.!. as long as others know that Minerva is a very special name, you've said it all!.

I like it as is!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

emmm!.!.!.
Is it the Roman "Minerva" that you seek assistance from!?
I think perhaps "Minerva McGonagall" from "Harry Potter" might be of more assistance!.!.!.
