Best Bosses Poems
you may try to make us feel inferior
strutting around with head held high and mighty
i wonder
is it for our sake
or just to cover up thy own inadequacy
fumbling your way around the factory floor
the bosses son soon to elevate to greater roles
i remember you
on your first day the rawest of incumbents
silver spoon still protruding
from your mouth
i gave you the strength needed
taught you everything
now I sit across from you
your eyes never to meet mine
no apology
when handing
the redundancy paper that says goodbye.

THE BIG BOSSES OF CORRUPTION
Heads held high, moods lowered with intend
They parade the highly peopled pathways
As they gather recognition and fake trust
Towards their deep well of luxury
How they got up there
A mystery down here
Why they hang on that long
As if it’s where they belong
Their offices, turned hiding places
From the masses they swore to serve
Their utterances, electrified into hot blazes
A privilege they do not deserve
They would sit in their spacey scary offices
Pinned on their revolving chairs
Calculating huge sums in tiny figures
Nodding and shaking their heavily loaded heads
Outgoing calls are in their hundreds
All in questionable directions
Hours and hours of budgeted time
Reduced to mere hello’s and bye-byes
They would lion their faces
When the masses call for audience
They would then iron them back into places
Having defeated the masses with nine carat promises
They would finally gather in their strongest elite
After hours for a collective toast
Tribute to their long standing drive
A day has just passed that deserves a boast

Bad bosses wear the same clothes every day
Some of them are called Bob or Bill or Kathy
They smell funny and cry for mommy
Never shake hands with them
You don’t know where their thumbs have been
Bad bosses hate employees who want wages
They kick their dogs and friends
Legends in their minds; they beat their wives
My boss is six feet tall
All of it is *****
Bosses look me up and down
Waiting for me to turn around
They want me to bend over and crack a smile
There must be a factory somewhere out there
That manufactures these freaks of nature
Vaseline does not come with the pay check
When they are done with me
I don’t even get a kiss or cigarette

MY OLD BOSSES FUNERAL
by
JOHN M. ARRIBAS
Went to the funeral of my old boss
After several speakers I was at a loss
Who was this person they were eulogizing
Kind words and praise was so surprising
I knew him well for many, many years
Despised by family and also his peers
He was a tough boss that never praised
The toil of his workers, most thought him crazed
One speaker after another had bountiful praise
They must be mistaken or in a mental daze
Like I said I knew him well
Being around him was a living hell
His ex wife had nothing to say
His two daughters couldn’t make it today
His son sent a card but forgot to sign
It said” hi mom” are you having a good time?
I had an eerie feeling throughout the service
These lauding comments were making me nervous
I had to make sure I was in the right place
Walked up to the casket and stared at his face
I had to touch him to see if he’s cold
Lipstick and rouge made him look old
Underneath the makeup he was turning gray
Get him underground don’t wait another day
Sure enough the old codger was dead
But I couldn’t believe the plaudits said
He was a bitter psychotic misanthrope
He was cheap a bigot a total mope
He was intolerant abusive and never approved
To belittle and disarm was his every move
The praising went on like a marathon
It sounded as if they’re sorry he’s gone
It must be that he had more than one side
They’re talking about Dr. Jekyll I knew Mr. Hyde
BOSS’S FUNERAL (2)
Later I learned what the praise was all about
He left a fortune for his rep to dole out
Total discretion for his rep to give away
To anyone that had something real to say
Everyone here and others previously chosen
To say a few words about the recently frozen
They all praised and offered exaltations
Expecting a big payoff for their commendations
But when the will was officially opened
Not a thing awarded to those who had spoken
Instead everything was willed to his son
Cause he was best to continue his fathers run
Of all of my kin and friends it was easy to see
My son is a son of a ***** just like me
So he gets my wealth and also my genes
He’ll succeed using unscrupulous schemes
When its his time to turn from ecru to gray
He can expose the hypocrites as I did today

With the wagon rolling forward on Square Wheels and a cargo of round rubber tires, the wagon pushers need change.
Are Bosses unaware?
Square Wheels are always thumping.
Listen. Small improvements here.

As a young teen,
she never liked parrots and bosses
Nah, never liked them at all
A parrot is always telling on you,
and a boss be always ordering you what to do
Rebellious hearts don't like none of that,
and she was a born rebel ... had a lot of sass
Young thing was a fire starter first class
Learned early on to keep the sibling parrots
in their cage
Learned it was best to throw a few crackers
their way
Free munchers usually won't
have anything bad to say
Handling a boss was an entirely different matter,
grown ups tend not to be moved by a lot of idle chatter
She figured you gotta use a little teenage finesse;
get a boss eating out of your hand,
and time will do the rest
Tell the boss how good they look and rule,
tip the boss off ... tell 'em Timmy and Jill
love to work longer hours after school
Her work for today is done,
the boss's trust is now won
Easy, peasy work
is how a teenager likes to get paid
Punching your own clock ...
that's when you really got it made
Now, about those parrots that are always chirping,
snitching on you
Telling mama and daddy everything you do
First give them parrots a hungry cat glare,
then watch them get the glassy-eye scared stare
Kid fear makes them wanna poop in the bedroom chair
Next, a simple stick pad sign saying, Repeat nothing,
this should do the trick
Because being bossed by younger kids
just makes this teenager sick
She's got the perfect plan for those parrots and bosses,
the best gamers always got the most wins over losses

Light Verse
Boss will says there are rights…
China top leader WU JANTO says” Country Unity.”.
Cauchy3 says” there are annexed evil forensic words for leader powers.
China premier WENJIABAO says “ no pledge but without evidence follow china laws but I am clean”
Cauchy3 says “what are laws if there are no investigated facts when easy does are there”.
So and so is easy ways.
Who avoid the proofs? Those immense crimes of large amounts of bribery sins because they are second top.
Who avoid the proof then who must seemingly do and guilty. Do not forget china get china modes of imprisonments. Humble pies will also know our china get the courts with china system modes. Only semen swims in wombs for birth. Only crimes will hide as matrix arrays. Bribery sins are coming close for china ages. However only patron saints have right but who care. Partitions made are mixing arts for clarifications.
Free the Tibet parts and all.
China ANNEXATIONAL forces are much too harm to sustain.
Only way is our ways. Ways are some conclusions only there are freedoms.
Ways are some conclusions only there self identities.
Tibet people tokens only good for better reactionary happen.

My husband and I are good at not having bosses.
We like positions where no one tells us what to do.
We have quit many jobs and cut our losses.
Give us autonomy, which we feel is our due.
Hire us if you must, but as sure as trees have mosses
We will resign fast unless left alone by you.

Alliteration
Gentle Prof –
The tales were so loudly told
Of new buses, of omnibuses;
Your tales-bearers so numerous
Loud-sounding speakers
Sharp ear-piercing trumpeters
Harping like some prime oracles
Announcing the benevolence of the deity
Each weaver sing-wept for joy
Even in these hard times!
Where are the buses?
Where are the omnibuses?
In a trick of sacrifice
Within the shrines of smaller deities
The gallant wheels bear the kids
Of our rabbi-bosses
Pampering their swap-ward women & maids
Like the ambrosia & emerald of deities
(Prof, a watch-lad saw them)
Was this intent?
Then on the day of campus turmoil
A new elephant-wheel came to us
(Prof, a watch-lad saw it all!)
Lads & lasses beamed as bosses
In the gallantry of a new conveyancer
– Was this intent? –
(Pro, think well now!)
Was it the trick of old bosses
To cover another clear loophole:
To dim the eye of the sun?

Soon, a penniless buyer,
Who’d dreamt of being a high flyer,
His bowel, a deflated tire,
And, thus, an embittered crier ….
Not willing anymore to climb higher;
Bosses would their workers fire,
After a couple of weeks’ hire!
Will he be hiring a smart lawyer?
But he can’t pay Barrister Moore Sawyer!
Of seven children did he sire,
Now, praised procreation does him tire!
Will he be going for the ropes or plain wire?
Then, Satan is a very good liar!

Your zeal’s infective, flashed his frown,
Get it not to your headless crown.
We want our work done here,
If I must make it clear,
Let not your zeal spread, tone it down.

I sure love to agree with you,
With your idea from wildest blue,
I love to go along,
But then we’d both be wrong,
It’s better that I keep my view.

There’s one thing of which I feel sure:
The goodness of no peer pressure.
That, year after long years,
I find for me no peers,
The boss said, peering in mirror.
