About This Poem

Work Place Blues

I have so much to do
I can't get it all done
To many balls in the air
I can't juggle every one

I am sure you've heard of me
The guy who dropped the ball
Now here I am 
Knocking my head against the wall

They say that nice guys
Always finish last
It seems that's the case
I'm getting there fast

Just one more job
Added to my plate
Now I'm in trouble
You're out on your date

In the end I'm fired
I think that's okay
Your turn to work
My time to play

Disclaimer: don't send donations, still happily working here in Kelowna. I am however considering setting up a holiday fund if you wish to contribute to that:))

    Kelowna? Isn't that where people go for holiday? Enjoyed the funny po - hope you get to that full time play job soon! (ps. I've had several friends tell me how beautiful Kelowna is, but never been there myself)

    maybe you should just through the balls at your boss and tell the ape to earn it's salary - if you are your own boss, well, get your priorities in better order - a nice poem of woe Richard - J.A.B. %
