Short Changed
Creditors calling,
unpaid invoices stacking up.
Bankruptcy coming.
Next in Line
Customers order
while they are on their cell phones
Angry at mistakes.
Not Iced Coffee
Morning coffee break–
Very important phone calls.
The coffee grows cold.
After the Beep
Office voicemail full
messages left overnight
by eager salesman
Get Your Feet Wet
Spilled water on shoes
While refilling cooler.
Wet feet all day long.
Workplace Injury
Working is painful—
Uncomfortable desk chair!
Should sit on the floor.
Slumlord Millionaire
Potential Tenets
Look around the office suite;
This place is a slum!
Extra Strength
The paper shredder
Shreds twelve pages a minute
And can do neckties.
Office Theft
I like my thumbtacks
Obsessively organized.
Jim keeps taking them.
Useless Sales
Sales Reps pitch their wares
But at eight in the morning
I simply don’t care.
