Show This To Your Boss

When you’re in a bad mood
Everybody feels it
If there’s a ray of sunshine left
You’ll be sure and steal it

I’m gettin’ kinda tired
Of tryin’ to read your mind
People say under their breath
“and now what’s wrong THIS time?”

They know best not to cross you
When you have that certain look
You think your life’s a mystery
But it’s an open book

'Cause no one has to look too far
To see that you’re in pain
We’re on the path to feel your wrath 
As you lash out again

Very entertaining, Gayle:) I've had a couple of bosses who resembled 'your' boss, but I was lucky to have some really good ones, too! Regards // paul

haha !! Well, this is just little bits and pieces of different people in authority I've encountered over the years. Whew!! That should be my safety net for not 'outting' any one person!
