Poem
Corporation Blues Hubby works for a Corporation called the... Well, I’m not allowed to say. He answers telephones. Really! EVEN with his great degree, every day! But, now, remember this is a Corporation, and they do stuff differently! They leave the air conditioners on, in winter at, 10 BELOW, you see! A worker controls the temperature… from 8 states away, so has his fun! Everyone works in parkas, gloves, and earmuffs, every single day, bar none! It wouldn’t continue if the Uppity Ups, didn’t work in warmer rooms above! Darn those Corporations, they have no common sense, what-so-ever, at all! All the chairs are broken, that’s hard, since they’re rocks from a prehistoric age! And all have to scavenge for working earphones, around the room, every day! The computer tools aren’t working, someone mysteriously, turned them off. But they still want one call resolution, of all problems in ten minutes or less. The pay is next to nothing, so the Company stock looks SO good, by gosh! Benefits and HR are in India, where they don’t understand English, at all! All the pay increases were capped, oh, about eight or maybe, ten years ago! Now they’ve quit hiring those who finished high school, and want to work. There’s even been fights in what has now, been designated, as Hoodlum Row. They’re here, for the long run, and don’t even bother, to answer their phones! The entire town was shut down due to snow, and if you didn’t come in that day… Well, you know the story, someone in another state, simply, docked your pay! They had asked to use vacation time, but that took 2 months to fix, by the way! Quitting time is obvious, as all the bosses mysteriously, suddenly, drift away. The penguins came with Hubby one day, and have since came back, every day. Their snowball fights, in the aisles, are legendary! What can I say, but… Amen! They don’t complain, love the cold, answer phones, and people quickly hang up! Since the customers don’t understand what they say, they’re handle time, rocks! Hubby snuck a plastic spoon from the lunchroom, which he guards with his life. It helps him tremendously, as he digs out thru the ice, at quitting time, so right! Collaboration Carol and (Hubby)
