My Boss Sends Me Home

coughing up my lung and my stomach
a Mack truck must have run over me last night
I crawl into work anyway thinking I am indispensible
the boss almost immediately sends me home
don't come back until you are well she says
glad she is my boss

Yes, we need someone to tell us when we need to rest sometimes. Good bosses do this well.
