Reservations

Your concepts of hygiene are questionable
Showering before work is a viable solution
We live in a civilization with rules and soap
Caveman ways are no longer acceptable

As your boss I have to be clear
We value you at the lowest level
Your performance of late is poor
Let me come straight to the point

You are no longer employed with us
That is not to say we don't like you
We will say it to avoid litigation
The best way to say it is to say nothing

This is not a restaurant
This is not a menu
But I have reservations
And they are about you


*Authors note:  Just to be clear; this is not about American Indians and the place where they live.
