Single Spells

(To the tune of “Jingle Bells”)
Dashing through my tasks, In a cubicle so tight, I hear the coffee slosh, Another deadline fight. Bells from emails ring, I can’t ignore the sound, Oh, what fun it is to sprint Through tasks that come around! (Chorus) Single spells, single spells, Typing all the way! Oh, what fun it is to pray For lunch to save the day—HEY! Single spells, single spells, Bosses want it fast, Why did I say I’d stay this late? This day will never pass! A week ago today, I thought I had it done, But then the boss exclaimed, “Redo it, just for fun!” I clenched my teeth and smiled, (That’s what professionals do), Then daydreamed of my holiday And flights to Timbuktu! (Chorus) Single spells, single spells, Typing all the way! Oh, what fun it is to pray For lunch to save the day—HEY! Single spells, single spells, Deadlines never end, Guess I’ll sing this little song Until my sanity bends!
