Workplace Blues

There's not enough coffee for more than 2 per day. There' not enough ink in my pen and it's only 8 a.m. There is no time for friendly conversation with so much work to do. I'm having another Monday - and today is Thursday - sounds like another case of Workplace Blues. Overslept and my meeting is at 9. Got a pink slip because my meter ran out of time. Walked around all day with unmatched shoes - this is a classic case of Workplace Blues. Just got the news that my paycheck is short a dollar or 2. Just got a call - the boss is looking for me and you. Just want this day to begin again. Someone just asked, "Is it the weekend? I need to escape the Workplace Blues. Today is the day of my 25th year. They found out I'm old and grey and need to retire from here. I'm dressed in my very best and even have a smile that's new. I'm finally retired from the Woprk place Blues. No work! Now what will I do?
