Robert Was Outraged When He Got Fired

Robert Was Outraged When He Got Fired By Elton Camp Following office routine Robert did hate Almost every day he would come in late Then before starting the work of the day A half an hour, on his computer he’d play The work that he did the boss had to expect That a good bit of it wouldn’t be done correct A good work ethic Robert surely did lack Personal calls on the phone he’d often yak And he thought that it was just perfectly fair For him to take a nap at his desk in his chair Customers complained that he wasn’t polite And talked to them with contempt and spite And Robert just loved to pull his little trick The day after a holiday he would call in sick Seeing him often sneaking early out the door Boss finally said, “Go and come here no more.”
