Lets Put that in the Parking Lot

Let’s put that in the parking lot.
It means Mr. Money will postpone a decision.
We drones look at each other.
Anything the boss wants is imperative.

Any suggestion from the minions is delayed.
Put off, shelved, indefinitely suspended.
One of the new employees protests. She is fired.
The rest of us keep quiet, wanting our pay.

i never heard that expression, caren, but you've described this in your usual unique way, which is very enjoyable to read...

It is what they say at school when they do NOT want to DISCUSS something after they assured us they will discuss anything we put on a post it note.
