How To Look Busy At Work

How To Look Busy at Work By Elton Camp When quitting time is still an hour away If you don’t want to work any more that day There’s a neat little trick I learned long ago That lets you goof off but nobody will know Just walk around, occasionally stop and stand Be certain you have a clipboard in your hand Then rove your eyes through the office all around Stop to write while you shake your head & frown Nobody will question an activity that’s so grim Out of fear that you may be writing about them What you’re doing, even your super won’t ask He suspects his boss is gonna take him to task Remember occasionally to put a new page on top Attempts to look over your shoulder that’ll stop They all suspect that, for the CEO, you’re a rat So are afraid to make you mad because of that When a colleague isn’t called in, that’s a relief And that you were working increases his belief Each will think that you did an excellent job As you didn’t report him, but some other slob
