Getting To Work On Time
Getting to Work on Time
By Elton Camp
The new boss told Joe, “One thing I do hate
And that is any employee coming in late.”
Joe carefully set his alarm clock each night
Being late to work would get him in a tight
But knew from the past that he might choose
To hit the time bar for a little bit more snooze
To makeup for the discipline that he lacks,
Joe used tape to install a row of thumbtacks
But the next morning when the alarm wails
He rams thumbtacks underneath his nails
The boss gave his damaged fingers a stare
Then asked himself if Joe should be there
But Joe merely gave him a sheepish grin
It seemed sometimes that he couldn’t win
