Boastful bosses 14
I’m as good an ear as ears go
If you tell me what I don’t know,
His finger firm on chest,
Looking the least modest,
Boastful ever, said his ego.

Boastful bosses 13
Fine, there’s no ‘I’ in TEAM,
There’s ‘ME’-- he talked of him.
‘ME’ is present
In management.
He said, pride spilled from brim.

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.

Boastful bosses 6
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.

He’s ace performer, cream of cream,
But wait, do we have to tell him?
At best, give him some bread,
Butter may get to head,
Soon, we may have to kill his dream.

Boastful bosses 3
Happy to have reached comfort zone,
They’re content for no good reason,
At peak of uselessness,
Their pigeon-hole no less,
And left with no more ambition.

Initiative, nor ambition upfront,
Hire him, he’ll be good as my assistant,
I just want a workhorse,
Not one for the racecourse,
A pony’s oft good if not adamant.

Boastful bosses 1
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.

Satan Is a Very Good Liar
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!

The Bosses Son
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

Good At Not Having Bosses
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.

Parrots and Bosses
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

My Old Bosses Funeral
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
