Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

You'D Better Talk the Talk

Every job has special words
  You don't know them, you're a nerd
To get ahead you walk the walk
  You'd also better talk the talk

Gathered 'round the water cooler
  Manager so hip, I couldn't fool her
This job's a bit more than what I'd bargained for
  ~ An octogenarian boss conducting jargon wars

Mark Toney January 3, 2020 at 5:57 PM So true, Gershon. I love your humor. The last line sounds like a new reality series! ~Mark Gershon Wolf January 4, 2020 at 9:07 PM Ha, ha: That's funny, esp. since wouldn't recognize a reality series if it hit me in the face, although I am aware of a certain series where the protagonist/antagonist would say, "You're fired!" LOL. (Haven't had a TV since 1977). At any rate, thanks for the compliment, Mark! Season's best, Gershon

Caren Krutsinger January 2, 2020 at 3:56 PM "the job's a bit more than what I'd bargained for" - I am laughing, knowing this is not true. Gershon Wolf January 2, 2020 at 5:09 PM But, but, but, but, but, Caren! Would I ever mislead you?! ---Don't answer right away... Smiles, Gershon
