The Bereaved Employee
Quick to forget the Off-Duty Grant
That makes bosses not rant
Easily treating An Observer,
To a levity of A Grieving Server
All stops are boldly pulled out
Like irritable errors struck out,
All restrictions kicked aside
Or left to their time bide!
It’s a being who has glimpsed obligations
Vain Boss would never understand,
Their delayed handling with implications
He might at last not withstand.
One doesn’t tears check for a Great Symbol
While on Earth virtuous and humble;
He who had to part with a noble life,
Forthwith ending a worthy strife …
Liable to be admonished
And sometimes stiffly punished
For a daring of The Bottlenecks
That a good file wrecks
Is the Employee in bereaved time
Not bothered that office clocks also chime.
