Your best Audio poem contest

3rd place winner Premium contest

Listen to poem:
I shall read you a poem in my drunken state, if my speech is slurred, forgive me mate, it is a cocktail of rum, vodka and cognac, if boss finds out I will surely get the sack! so am i drinking at work? you may ask, yes, my mate, from my steel thermos flask, I bring in to work each morning with me, everyone thinks it is my Yorkshire tea, but I need a bit more to help me work here, we haven’t had a pay rise in full ten years, I sit around and look busy at work all day, but just do enough to justify my pay, boss is a bully who always gets the praise, when company makes profit, he gets a raise, all our hard work, and boss gets the cream, morale is pretty low in the whole office team! today unfortunately i have had too many, i meant to kiss Isabel, but I kissed old Danny! I am sitting stiff in my chair, so I do not fall off, beginning to see double, now and then laugh! friends around me know what I am up to, if boss walks in I will rush to the loo! Meanwhile my mate, I read you this verse, if you like it, then raise your glass! Cheers!

Loved the humour ! Congrats on a witty unusual entry. Beautiful velvety voice, Krish. Trust you left a couple of drops in flask. Cheers, not to the boss. X.
