Best Admin Poems
Dear Poet Soup..
A request, dare I ask,
Could you withdraw
Mysterious mask?
As if in Oz
I feel I am
But hope your wizardry
No sham
For I request
A feature fair
To pin a poem
In the air..
High up above
As if balloon..
(your coding skills
to make us swoon)
My favourite write
The 'child' of mine
Top of the class
My favourite rhyme

To pick my fave. Thanks.
Yours Sincere..
High summer at the Regiment,
Admin Inspection coming around
So they placed a little saluting base
At the edge of the Parade Ground.
A coco matting covered floor
On a stout square wooden base
Which the fatigue party
Manoeuvred carefully into place.
Now I may have worn a uniform
And been a soldier by name
But i preferred to play
Very unmilitary games.
So, every night I visited
That special little place
And ceremoniously and seriously
Passed water on the saluting base.
How I loved the thought
That the building smell
Would make of that area
A pungently urine smelling hell.
Alas, all good things
Must come to their end
Because sadly I was discovered
By an equally discontented friend.
And before I knew it
Every single night
Folk were treated
To the unedifying sight
Of an ever growing band
In the process of urination
On that little coco matted
Official saluting base station.
Discretion being the thing
And the damage being done
We ceased operation and left
Further action to that of the sun.
Having sadly been posted for
Unspecified but suspected crime
I was not present there
Come Admin Inspection time
So I never did find out
If it all went well
And the Inspecting Officer suffered
My planned olfactory dose of Hell
So many many years later
In odd moments of leisure
I like to think it did, and that
Gives me such intense pleasure.
I was nothing.
I was quiet and unconscious
in the comfortable instance of non-being.
I was pulled out of the void to serve my sentence,
being configured as a package of meat
to which brains and other survival tools are added.
should be nice to everyone,
kind, study and work.
dedicate myself during the passage through this hell
to the exercise of temperance and good will.
having good manners and fearing invisible entities
created by other meat packs like me.
and wait for the most immediate reward,
that is, the momentary pleasures,
the fleeting smiles of luck,
the few days in a thousand when satisfaction dominates.
but they forgot to mention illnesses,
fatigue, pain, setbacks,
disappointments, sadness, the violence of natural elements,
disasters, bad luck, accidents, imperfection.
if you have plans for me that include a new stay here,
I thank you in advance
for the commitment and dedication of the hospice staff,
but I prefer to remain
in the dark limbo of non-existence,
thank you very much
see you never again.
ADMIN DAY
From phones to emails to files,
Your work, hectic, is recognized from miles.
Your expertise is as sweet as tales, you manage it all,
Despite the day’s daunting tasks, you still stand tall.
Behind the scenes, you work tirelessly,
Keeping things running with precision & effortless ease.
In the office, a team works as one,
Each role vital, each task is won.
Receptionist Dedun, with a smile so bright,
Welcomes all with warm and friendly sight.
Admin Officer Merit, with tasks so wide,
Coordinates operations with a careful stride.
Accountant Samson, with rare skills,
Keeps finances and funds balanced like diets.
Technician Joseph, handyman of all trades.
Keeps the electronics and systems running
For days.
Matron Katryn, with guidance so wise,
Leads and takes care of these under her guise.
Librarian Sarah, with books so clear,
Helps students learn, bringing dense minds to cheer.
Nurse Bamidele, with care so kind and true,
Tends to the sick, sticking to the healthcare rule.
The janitors, with a cleaning hand,
Keep the premises spick and span.
The chefs make sumptuous meals,
Taste and aroma our nostrils it steals.
And the gatekeepers, with watchful eye,
Guard the entrance and keep things dry.
Each admin, a cog in the wheel of progress,
Working together harmoniously without duress.

Mahal kong Admin ng CapSU-Dumarao
Mahal kong Admin ng CapSU-Dumarao
Minsan kong pinagsilbihan ikaw
Noong panahon ni PNoy dilaw
At ngayong panahon ni PBBM pula
Nais ko muling paglingkuran ka
Sa abot ng aking makakaya
Noon bilang Speechwriter nina
Dr. Bede at Dr. Teresita
Ngayon bilang AO ni Dr. Jean sinta
Sinisinta ko ang Admin talaga
Sa buhay ko siya ay mahalaga
Sisikapin kong mapabuti siya
Kakayanin ko bilang AO
Ako ay magiging kaagapay niyo
Sa de-kalidad na serbisyo.
