Good Times Imperiled

Today’s workplaces incommodious Laid off, the exuberant and joyous Atmosphere’s sterile Good times imperiled Efficiency’s drumbeat will destroy us

the humanity has been eliminated from the workplace...was even so in teaching. I noticed it more and more. How can one teach humans with efficiency? Drove me nuts at times :-) Well said, Gershon.

A poem that tells our present woes. A four day week would be good. Thanks for this limerick.
