Short Supervisor Poems

His anger plows my heart
but does not plant any seeds
weeds of anger he grafts
on the ridges and valleys
of  work I can do so well...

screamed since some find funny

me mauled by a bunny

Nervous male nurse quit last night, 
Losing all without a fight;
The supervisor shrugs,
“Caught him really good this time, 
In Federal high crime,
Concealing, stealing drugs.”...

he sits so smug 
       and condescending there

in his ergonomic, black
       leather chair

behind a slab of tinted
       plexiglass

on stainless-steel, to him
       a touch of class....

The Silent One was silent too long
Some Soupers said he wrote a new song
The words were too sweet
For Donald to tweet
So the soup was stirred by Marcum Wong*

*Is it true Exams Supervisor Allison
is being assisted by Marcum Wong?...

Do this, not the other,
Don't go out, just stay with work rather.
For I am here to supervise,
You should always ask for my advice.
If you want to conspire,
I will play with 'fire and hire'.
OMG! where such rules apply,
Decide soon to..fly..fly..fly...

He is a dancing king
A prancing thing

He jiggles and wiggles
To others delight and giggles 

He is a marvelous spinner
And a future award winner

But for today
I have to say

In this cafeteria
He is causing hysteria

As this is not the way we behave in here
And I am the lunch supervisor, I fear....

I shop at the co-op every day,
See the karma millionare not give a care,
See Mr Jones a pillar of fire,
See the checkout supervisor touch every hand,
See the damned see the damned,
See the old hag have a drag,
See the gentleman being dargged down,
See the gnome all at home,
And see the man who knows he's alone....

The bravery of wisdom
The supervisor of dignity
Disclaiming the indentity unknowingly
Perpetrating the life of the one.
The father of justice,
Came forth to intervene.
The dumpless of sorrow,
Carelessness,carefulness and cleanliness
Calamity sent for cheating
To bestowed the life of the livings.
It is the sorrow of life
Come forth distance.
Don’t be a victim?...

I was told to enter
one column of figures
into another folder
                                       and so on.

After a few weeks I ran out of numbers.

I sought a supervisor
                for guidance,

she just kept repeating:
is there a problem,
  is there a problem,
    is there a problem?

I will never forget the look of fear
               on her face....

Balls in Games every where in occur,
Balls In courts low and upper,
Up and up going on ladder,
Ball becomes small and smaller,
Soccer in court of Urban poor,
Rugby in court of front worker,
Cricket in court of job Supervisor,
Tennis in court of middle manager,
Golf in court of higher officer,
Marbles in court of law maker,
Up and up going on ladder,
Ball becomes small and smaller!...

Keeps guard
collects nectar
eats only to survive
community work supreme
parks nectar bank full
mindless of others’ roles

Without supervisor
Head bee labors softly
but every bee is Head bee
none a servant of the other
working selflessly each day
output without corruption
and the bee society moves on
flourishing, calm, peaceful
no insecurity, no famine
all proud of being a bee...

My supervisor is Hannibal ugly today.
Must be tired from jumping through hoops.
on bony knees.
Trying to please the unpleasable.
Being constantly squeezed
just to climb a rung less ladder
of cackle and clack,
Everything is out of its being.
brown- acidic,

I'll do "it" a favor and stay out of its way.
Slide on home at the end of this hard day.
Wash his grasshopper spit from my soul....

A supervisor led me to a cubicle

among a maze of others.

I was given a computer

displaying columns of numbers.


All I had to do was move the figures

from one column to another.



I soon ran out of things to do.

I watched cat videos.

I asked for guidance.


I wanted to know

what I was doing and why?


When I said that

I will never forget the look of terror

on their faces....

Early morning
I get a pissy look
from a worn-out moon.
Off to work
From a pissy guard booth
I get a pissy look. 
Next. I get a pissy look from the supervisor.
Who got a pissy look from the manager.
Who got a pissy look from God..I presume.

Lunch time, an old woman baking minimum wage.
Serving food to a thousand pissy faces.
Her smile is worth a million bucks.
An island of diamonds in an ocean of pissy....

Time is a common early bird
it hasn’t been late in its life
always embarrasses leaders
those who believe are perfect

When cock crows, time has come
When baby is born, time has come
When one dies, time has come
When life ends time has come

Let the world learn from time
It has no supervisor but loyal
No incentive to it but works hard
Truly time is a regular early bird

Learn to be in time as time
Nothing in life you will miss ×2...

Today in my role as elementary school counselor
I am allowing the third graders all kinds of freedoms
It is easier than me teaching a counseling lesson
I hope the principal does not choose today to evaluate me
I am giving myself a break after taking two sick days
Slowly oozing myself into my role
Children are delighted
They are given eight choices
Any computer program approved by their teacher
I am their hero
All is well
Unless my supervisor steps in...

To be a supervisor
this you need to know.

It’s quite easy really
any elementary person
can become a leader, 
but most important, 
can a leader become
an elementary person?

Therefore never forget 
one’s own roots, those foundations
of an upbringing of moral substance,
one of basic humanity
and esteem,
where right is right
and wrong disciplined.

Remember to manage,
everyone as equal
as we are all
in the eyes of God!

Being watched I have no words
but make us do the other
So many restrictions
make us feel trapped
When it's just the two
I see my smile
just in daily life
Instead of in your shadow
while you talk
To feel like I'm walking wtih you
and not behind you
I try to look back
and don't know if I want to 
So much frustration
I need to try again
and calm myself down
Maybe accept and live the rules
and don't fight them
We'll see
I have two weeks to try again...

Three men are digging a hole in the ground
Their supervisor is casually standing around
A bystander is not making the slightest sound
No precious pirates’ treasure will soon astound.
Dirt brought up beneath is forming a mound
One says a jackhammer is needed to pound
Hard limestone rock is starting to confound
Six feet down will lie remains of a renowned.

I was in a peevish mood when I realized
I have been assigned to be the school counselor at two schools this year.
Always difficult for I have done it before.
Never easy. Lots of extra paperwork which I despise.

Almost impossible to do a good job in this circumstance.
Luckily, yesterday, I sat down next to a counselor whose story is much worse.
After hearing what happened to her, I calmed down a bit 
And did not bite the leg off the supervisor who decided these things....
