The Workaholic
The Workaholic
By Elton Camp
To Sam his job is his principal delight
He seldom sees his house except at night
And so long at his office Sam does stay
That his kids are usually tucked away
His wife doesn’t hurry in from her date
As she knows for certain he’ll be late
If his cellular phone rings at night or day
“The XYZ Company,” is what he’ll say
To develop other interest he doesn’t try
For he is thinking of demand & supply
The office cleaning lady made him realize
Her words to him came as a great surprise
“Minimum wage is the extent of my pay
But I’d rather that than to live your way.”
