Too Much Relief Man

When stress about work started showing
He smoked some of what he was growing
Showed up at work
No pants or shirt
Not sure if he was coming or going!

His stress he still managed to be numbing
Even though dismissal was forthcoming
He said, "It's cool man,"
"I'll live in my van,"
As to his boss, his nose he was thumbing!

Too bad he didn't give his boss some 'special' brownies - maybe they could both be up in the clouds :)
