Office Xmas Party

OFFICE XMAS PARTY Silly hats and even sillier chatter Overloud voices, but what’s said does not matter As alcohol increases by the crates. Clink of glasses, clatter of plates, Jingle of forks and knives, Jokes between husbands and wives. Speeches made by men hot and glistening With automatic applause but no one listening. Dancers ungainly and ill-at-ease With alien-partners, trying to please Unsynchronized men dragged to the dance Floor by rhythmic women making a determined stance. People doing pointless things - the boss with an elf hat - His PR assistant making PR chat. In the photo dark room , under-manager Completely out of character With the secretary whose task she does not shirk - Some emergency negative work. The evening is wearing on Guests are wearing out their welcome I’m wearing in a clown’s mask The xmas spirit is wearing off.
