A Terrible Day At the Office

A Terrible Day at the Office By Elton Camp Robert awoke feeling really fine Soon, at work, he’d toe the line Traffic was very heavy that day “You’re late,” the boss did say In his cubicle Robert took a seat The office had but little heat He found more reason to frown His computer kept shutting down But his troubles weren’t through The bulb in his desk lamp blew The boss then did angrily say “Your analysis is not okay” “For you’ve made a big mistake And a lot too long did it take” “Rework this without any delay. This time, do it the correct way” A customer called to complain An hour on the line did remain Next, a call from Internal Revenue “We believe your return’s untrue” “For many errors we did detect So, a seven year audit expect” The boss came by with a glare “Taking personal calls don’t dare!” “If more work you don’t turn out, A job you’ll soon be without” Robert slaved away till after six Boss’ next words made him sick “The office tasks are way behind. Weekend work you won’t mind”
