The Sycophant

The Sycophant By Elton Camp “Sycophant,” just what does it mean? It’s a person that all of us have seen The first thing on the toady’s mind To keep his nose up the boss’ behind Whatever the super may come to say, The sycophant agrees it’s just that way The boss surely should think that it’s odd Soon as he speaks, toady’s head will nod This employee, not a chance will take To help his employer avoid a mistake If off a cliff the person is about to drive, He says, “I am sure you’ll safely arrive.” Such an employee’s contribution is nil, However, he’s got a job and always will Because if the simple truth’s what we say, Many bosses really prefer it to be that way
