A Workplace Prayer
	Written: by Tom Wright
	1998
	
	Lord, as we gather
	at our places of work each day.
	Let us do our tasks, with others,
	in one accord we pray.
	
	If it be day or dark of night
	let us be found.
	At counter, desk, or mundane task
	or on appointed round.
	
	As you forever...

Quote from Hugh Prather:  "Most of the conversations I hear 
are carried on as if there really were such a thing as an answer
and as if the people present were actually in possession of it."

Shouldn't we all adopt
some sort of "busy" pretext,
display fake fronts...

Workplace harassment is rife, alive and well, 
Occurring too often in this pseudo company.
Derogatory, condescending words roared, inches from your face, 
Sounding like a battlesque symphony.

People in charge making foolish demands,
Then usurping workers places, employing visible stealth.
Not being productive, effective or profitable, 
To any of...

It's a celebration of life,
It's a celebration of self,
An inner spirit and style,
expressed thru blazes of color.
Daring to be an original,
in a gallery of the commonplace....

9 out of 10 women 
At my company
Accused me of sexual harassment
And are suing me
And I’m being sued for discrimination
By plain Jane my 10th employee...

Think you’ve got the workplace blues
No matter what work you do 
These words will hopefully inspire you

Yes, your job may be redundant
But the paychecks are abundant

Some days you will get off track 
But the next day know your plan of attack
Bring a smile and get...

I’ve got much pressure when I entered the office
On my first day of work it’s really hard to please

To bring accord is part of my job depiction
Got to do this as part of team’s expectation

Colleagues have their own personal differences
Should cope so I’ll not be...

I shivered, and dreaded her face
As she put me in a test every morning
I can never please her
Her way or no way!

This thing called EVALUATION
Is so subjective
It can’t  be objective 
When one is prejudiced.

But, how many ways can you peel a banana?
Or, how many...

Tension’s thick and I feel your reaction
Workplace under a spirit of control
Oh this is just a major distraction

It’s making you miss the primary goal
Keep your focus on what God has in store
Workplace under a spirit of control

Please listen quietly and shut the door
Block out the...

be on the lookout
for those who are curious about your personal affairs
at the workplace
be on the lookout for those who are always hanging around you &
other workers, asking questions about things that they can hardly relate to
be on the lookout
for those that leave the warehouse...

There were meadows free to the far,            
Clean, green and quiet calm.
Pebbles and stones, scattered,
As in the blue sky’s stars’ view.

On a remote-side grew wild thorns high,
Played the bees and b‘flies and I;
And the...

Our patient needed  some minor in-office surgery
This is a true story, can't sue me for perjury
Our new Dr M asked us the room to prepare
The next thing that happened is true, I swear.
The patient is ready, scared, and holding my hand
When in walked the...

sitting down at their desk
they open up the manila folder of the recently
“let go” & 
muster up the audacity 
to draw up a psychological profile of said individuals
based on what little had been documented of the personal lives 
of these ex-employees &
the work history which...

I am A Night Owl
By: Noel N. Villarosa
June 4, 2022

Staring long at the laptop
My workplace is quiet
Active and mentally tip top
I am an owl that flies at night

Night sorting and engaging that way
Was a man deep in his thinking
Working with a good employer that will...

Our boss employed a receptionist
Whose beauty we could not compare
Double D cups woke up the knights
As pheromones surged through the air

Her chair is usually empty
Excepting this handwritten note:
"I have just stepped out for the male"
Exactly as written I quote...
