Maids wipe up messes,
janitors take away trash
I produce waste.

Cocktail networking
shaking hands and drinking scotch
until passing out.

Hardly Working

The summer interns
eagerly do my grunt work.
None will get offers.

Over Achievers

New interns dress well,
Eagerly collate reports.
Soon they will burn out.

Frighten the secretaries;
Who all snort cocaine?

Yellow toothed tech guy
Breathes down my neck as he works.

Moved to the eighth floor
With all the weird mail room elves.
They steal my bag lunch.
