The Office Worker Blues
arrive in morning
descending gloom
inboxes full
deadlines loom
insufficient wage
big workload
crazy colleagues
boss a rogue
lunchroom a mess
carpet stains
no tea bags
milk's off again
hide mistakes
phone a mate
take early lunch
come back late
scroll the net
sneaky snacks
(the kind designed
for heart attacks)
delete master files
shift the blame
finger pointing
hide in shame
illicit affairs
rumour mills
pointless meetings
fire drills
no confession
to copier jam
sometime next week
get serviceman
watch the clock
wander about
hunt for pens
eat birthday shout
go slowly mad....
but don't despair
holidays are due-
you're out of here!
