Wined and Dined
Exceptional effort is generally rewarded in kind
Some efforts are rewarded exactly as designed
Others are considered, then politely declined,
When you made an effort what had you in mind?
Have you tired of following the same daily grind?
Perhaps you might try doing more than assigned,
Consider going beyond the instructions defined,
Then … possibly, then, you’ll be wined and dined
Why do you always think you are being maligned?
Thinking those higher on the ladder must be blind,
When you know you have consistently outshined
You know you are a perfectionist, or so inclined
What a pity that for so long you’ve been confined
When your great desire has been to be enshrined.
