Ode to a Boss*

Each and every day I hope

but it’s to no avail,

that there could be a change, but nope

stupendously you fail.

You sidle up without a care,

I cringe and close my eyes.

the restraint I show is rather rare,

I should receive a prize.

I have to say it’s quite an art

that you can’t seem to see,

the question that you think is smart,

is dumb as dumb can be.

I know you think that I’m a dope

and speak to me as so,

but there’s a day I’ll laugh and hope

you like the taste of crow!

It’s true that you aren’t sharp of wit

but think of this old hen,

if respect is what you think you’ll get,

don’t treat me like I’m ten!

*any similarity to a real boss is purely coincidental. Everyone knows a boss would never really act like this...
