Some people have a deep inferiority complex. In other words they think everyone else is inferior to them in one way or another. These people are very pushy and have trouble minding their own business. A woman at work inspired this poem. She started tryng to tell me how to do my job. I explained to the boss that if she is so much better at my job than I am then let her do it. At New Years I told her in the New Year lets not be angry with each other. She thanked me and we talked. I told her I am a person that you can LEAD anywhere but you can't PUSH me an inch. Being from Nigeria she asked me what that meant. I said it means DON'T PUSH ME! She has tried to "help" me a couple of times and the boss told her to stay in her own area. I have been there for 14 yrs and gotten along fine before she ever got there. I can get along a while longer. Now she leaves me alone. Too bad because since she said she is a Christian I thought we could be friends.
What's that they're doing over there?
Are you sure that's quite kosher?
I'm sure we'd find there's something wrong,
Were we to look much closer.
You can't put that over there.
It's not a good idea.
That belongs way over there,
And this belongs right heah.
You didn't do that properly.
It should be redone over.
You aren't working fast enough.
I swear you can't be slower.
I know how things should be done.
I know where things go.
I get things done in record time.
I am in the know.
What would they do without me?
How would things get done?
I'm sweet, I'm smart, I'm helpful.
All that and so much fun.
