Mean Boss

I had a mean boss called Heather
Requests were met with a "NEVER!"
When asked for a rise
Wearing a disguise
She said "that's clever but NEVER!"

A Thought

I think I need to be in love 

to write

poetry that might
 
make her think me clever 

and, 

help us both to understand

her loveliness.
