The Workaholic

The Workaholic By Elton Camp To Sam his job is his principal delight He seldom sees his house except at night And so long at his office Sam does stay That his kids are usually tucked away His wife doesn’t hurry in from her date As she knows for certain he’ll be late If his cellular phone rings at night or day “The XYZ Company,” is what he’ll say To develop other interest he doesn’t try For he is thinking of demand & supply The office cleaning lady made him realize Her words to him came as a great surprise “Minimum wage is the extent of my pay But I’d rather that than to live your way.”
