Old Fart

Walking slowly dazed and bemused
Thinking about what I was just told
"It'll be an opportunity" she said
Dressing it up as a gold plated crap
"The change will be good" she said
Straight faced through gritted teeth
A move to a different department I pondered
Filling me with angst and dread
I thought I'd escaped that awful old fart
Now I'm back working for him AGAIN

This has got to be a worst nightmare Rob - I hope its not true! . Poem made me chuckle especially the lines 'dressing it up as gold plated crap' - typical HR. Jan
