The Joker of the John

The Joker of the John

By Elton Camp


When the dispenser gets empty, all will fume
But won’t put paper in the executive restroom

To put on a new roll is just way too undignified
And it would become the job of anyone spied

But Robert simply loves a good practical joke
Thought of one that with glee made him choke

With a roll of duct tape and a felt marker pen
He played a very funny joke on the office’s men

And this is what Robert then proceeded to do
Left duct tape & note, “How desperate are you?”

But the company president went in for a dump
And then angrily on the toilet door did thump

“Whoever’s the one who pulled this stupid trick
If I learn his name, he’s going to be fired quick!”

Robert kept his eyes glued to his computer screen
And he surely did hope that he hadn’t been seen
