The Boss Comes To Dinner
The Boss Comes to Dinner
By Elton Camp
It was for the very first time in my life
We asked to dinner the boss and his wife
Company’s sales and profits were down
And talk of layoffs had been going around
So we thought it’d be a good idea to hurry
And favor with the boss try hard to curry
The two showed up a little before eight
We made sure that dinner wouldn’t be late
The house was shining, so spick and span
To impress him, we had done all we can
Our little son Joey came out into sight
To meet the boss and to say “Goodnight”
“Sir, my Dad talks about you a whole lot.
He tells about how you are such a big shot.
If there’s time, to see you do it, I do wish.
My Father says that you drink like a fish.”
