A secretary's daily grind
Resulted in a wet behind
A colleague said,
"Your face is red,
But pheromones are colour-blind!"...

Wonder what they learned in preschool

Obviously it wasn’t playing nice

Rarely can you trust a colleague

Kindness always has a price...

She is a colleague at my work.

Who said he was stressed too

He took it out
On his colleague with a pout 

Who would do anything for you!...

He gave it to colleague Talulah
Astounded to find
She paid him in kind
And what he needs now is a jeweller...

A martyr for her faith

Glowing gleaming pumpkin on a fancy autumn fence.
We watch him counting his money, dropping six pence.
He picks it up and glowers at us, causing a bit of offense.
I didn’t see that says a colleague, of course he’s rather dense....

Colleague, innocent mannered, told me-
 "In village our feet used to journey" 
Urban feet, mine, smiles 
Fuel is its miles 
Vehicle loves jam and I'm chained free!

had coffee with a colleague
he was young and eager
wanted to play Russian roulette 
because his resources were meagre

the universe conspires with us
granting us whatever we wish
but if fear and doubt makes us blink
boons granted are gone in a swish...

Friendship's grace a sweet token
As a colleague bestows both vase and flower
Scented prose, volumes spoken
Sits on my desk this hour
Bearing kindness and the heart's fragrant power

Living with Hope

Gracious companion - colleague and guest;
 Sent in a new light - in darkness implored;
Troubles and toils given their rest;
 Sunlight and sight tint optimism restored.

I often moan about my job,
a certain colleague, and my boss -
I wish I didn't have to go
to work (I wouldn't mourn its loss).

Without a job I'd be quite skint;
it puts the money in the bank -
I think of that and carry on
(unsure of what or whom to thank).

Lollygagger

First joining day after spending more than half an hour with the boss
new colleague whispered this guy a lollygagger, I's at a loss;
Never heard the word, but couldn't say;
internet helps; who wastes time, pay
least attention to work, procrastinate - yes, attributes tally for boss.

i'd go for one vision
another colleague said hammer to fall
another said show must go on 
fat bottomed girls
but that's enough yakety yak from me
welcome onboard flight 4b7 with service 
from hong kong to san francisco 
we are currently third in line for take-off and 
are expected to be in the air in approximately 
seven minutes time...

Hope

Reverberates and resonates in all of life’s quests;
 Showing – illuminating - a path unexplored;
Gracious companion, colleague and guest;
 Sent in a new light - in darkness implored;
Troubles and toils given their rest;
 Sunlight and sight tint optimism restored

I’m feeling right as rain again,
Without those nasty kidney stones.
It’s nice to be without the pain.
I’m feeling right as rain again.
Those things were driving me insane.
Now no more crying, groans or moans.
I’m feeling right as rain again,
Without those nasty kidney stones.

*A colleague was in agony with his kidney stones, not me : )...

today’s sunrise was prettier than all of the others
and I have seen almost thirty-six thousand of them
I know because I calculated how many days I have been alive
thirty-five thousand, nine hundred and seventy-seven sunrises
Wait! A second said a colleague. You watched the sun rise every day?
I am a bit sheepish now. Maybe I have seen twelve sunrises....
