Men Walk

Men walk and women stroll.
Bosses putt and workers bowl.
Do we jump into our pigeonhole
or are we pushed into playing a role?

The Promotion

In order to get ahead today, one doesn't need an education.
By just snooping around my bosses desk, I landed an unexpected promotion.

Unsupervised

The bosses are not here today.
Do I have to work for my pay?
Ceiling tiles need counting.
They are in Florida for 'business.'
I've a week to clean up this mess.
We work hard, partying.

Woman-Owned Business Maker

Self-employed and partner in life
He "hired" some other guy's wife
Making golfing balls
Now he has two holes
My new business ?...Surgical Knives...

No Losses

No losses
Only losers
Once ed
About bosses
But now nobody
Tells yous
What to do
And I’m at a loss
Calculating the 
Whole cost
Of living
A mess
I scream it out
I hate alcohol
Let’s not digress

If Bosses Would Listen

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.

False Profits

False profits,
Are usually followed by real losses,
That make way for real bosses.

Real profits,
Come from real wages,
Real customer service,
An Active Complaints Department, 
And lots of repeat customers.

Christmas Sweaters In June

I like to wear Christmas sweaters in June
To show that it can be done
To see who will try and fix me or correct me
It brings the bosses out of the woodwork.
Also because I probably did not find them until this week

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 2

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.

Freakenstein

We sweat, and sweat, and sweat some more
for a freak of nature... we're sure,
his yell - like no other heard,
his demands are quite absurd,
we'll all dance when he's out the door.

Good Impression

I once had a boss called Mister Reviere
Each lunchtime for ages he'd disappear
What he was found wearing
Kept everyone staring
Oh my, the padlock was stuck by his ear

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.

Threat Regret

“If I claimed you sexually harassed me,
Who do you think they’d actually believe?
You – the convicted felon,
Or me, with my large melons?”
“You…so I might as well take what I please!”

To Get To the Top

You go to work, to bring in the loot
you put the effort in, to do a good job

The boss is a jerk, in that fancy suit
we feel it’s a sin, for him to be a snob

So, booze is your perk, to climb for your fruit
you’re not in the bin, when you’re the bosses’ knob

At Dandee Donuts Cafe

Dandee Donuts was Dan's small café.
I served donuts and meals for small pay,
wore a stupid hair net
and what small tips I'd get
growing fat on free donuts each day!

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.

The She-Demon

Our boss locked her office door every day

The She-Demon locked it so she could play

     Her boyfriend hid in there too

     The only sound heard was "oooh"

Making love to her own boss - she earned pay

Boastful bosses 4

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 10

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.

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.
