Brian was a sycophant apple-polisher at work
Fawning all over the boss; an enormous jerk
The rest of us got his number right away
He annoyed most of us from the very first day
Brian washed the boss’s car and brought him lunch
We did not like either of them a bunch.
They were two peas from the same kind of pod.
Their conversations gave all of us a nod.
