Chicken on dry sliced rye,
at his neat
office workstation,
no garnish.
Suddenly she was there,
her chair roller wheels
squeaking.
Next time get a 'footlong' sub
with Mayo and all the fixings.
We could share it.
Messy he murmured,
studying his monitor.
A sigh,
as the office angel rose upward
on chubby wings.

i work hard, Sir
and well, Sir
but you said
it was not enough
So i worked harder,
Sir
still well, Sir
but you said it
was not enough
So i worked faster,
Sir
and longer, Sir
but not so well, Sir
and my kids forgot
my face.
To my disgrace, Sir
you said the quality
my work
had dropped
and still was not
enough
So i work harder,
Sir
still well Sir
and wait for the
day, Sir
with your behind me,
Sir
i step aside, Sir
and let you taste my
rock.
MCMXCVI - This
originated as I was
at my workstation on
a glorious Sunday
when i should be
walking through the
changing colors with
my family
