Short Coworkers Poems

Some are set in stone 
working day and night till death 
just to please the boss...

Once seduced by his junior coworkers
Old man took his dates to the lockers
They used penile tweezers 
And shagged like young weasels
Too bad he forgot beta-blockers...

I hear them in the hallway giggling and laughing.
A bunch of excited geese, making loud exuberant noises. 
My co-workers who are arriving a few minutes early.
I listen and smile, wondering if they know how happy they sound.
It brings the day forward on a good note....

I am a bird of prey at work
Consider myself head of the food chain
Keep it to myself of course

I fly off before my talons rip or tear
shredding my coworkers into rethinking
I am proud to be a no-kill predator

Here comes one of the baby birds now
She flits around, tweeting and trilling
I hold myself back...

Doris was quick-thinking
quick-acting, clever, and shrewd
But pointedly polite and polished
Never abrupt or rude

Her knowledge of psychology helped her get by with much
Fooling relatives, acquaintances, coworkers, and such

they were eagerly outsmarted and outmaneuvered by her.
She had an open heart, and a face that was open and pure....

MYTH

myth ~
he wore red white blue
with patent leather shoes
daily reported the news
when he’d fly coworkers would wonder
where he’d gone. a superficial superman
spotted at each crime on the map.
reality finds him an easy chair, his hand-
a beer. heart rate racing, pulse fast,
his cape flapping on the windy side

The blue-collar poet writes 
of life in truth

Hard work long hours
Sometimes twelve or more

 Spinning brief yarns about coworkers
Neighbors and friends and what
A pain The boss is

The blue color poet
shares good times and bad 

Takes you on journeys to imaginary
Lands and fanciful places 
you've never been

The blue-collar poet takes you 
Again and again

I am a blue-collar poet...

Oh, how the market is a dropping
It’s dropping oh so low
The DOW is in the toilet
How low is it to go?
The shareholders, investors
They’re selling all they own
Sending all the prices
Truly down below
The rumors are a spreading
Not all of them are true
But the market’s still a dropping
What are we now to do?
I’m watching all the prices
Not watching just for me
But all of my coworkers
Here at Morgan Stanley
OMG!!!...

In the stage of the night,
Many dreams aren’t real;
On wee hours I fly,
Just to find other deals.
My mind goes to the clouds,
Body sits in some planets;
And the sea shore is mine,
When the passion’s started.
Shining bedrooms are glowing,
With the magic around;
Many beings have desires,
Mixing lips, kissing mine.
In the stage of the night,
Sex and love are coworkers;
They are fantasy and vibe,
Bringing forth light and pleasures....

Coworker Blabberfmouth Jim
Coworkers come
Coworkers go
Coworkers work fast
Coworkers work slow
We know less than nothing about them
Unless you work with blabbermouth Jim.
He talks all day long about nothing but him.
He has had six wives.
They are long gone he said.
Some thought they had all gotten sick.
Others thought they were all dead.
Most of them ran off to get away from him.
This tidbit was told to me by his quiet cousin Little Slim...
