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
