Me English Degree

My English degree
is great at teaching me
to think for myself;
exactly what's discouraged
in this modern business world

Funny How When

Funny how when
the boss says, have a good evening
it sounds as if
he truly means it; that is
until I look at my paystub

There's Something About

There's something about
the shame of talking to my
HR department,
even if I'm not in trouble
I feel I did something wrong

As the First Bite of Peach

As the first bite of peach
makes juice explode in my mouth
I rush to the cafeteria;
I don't want my coworker
to call me a pig again

You and Your Fancy

You and your fancy
spreadsheet, you try and convince
everyone you've got
a handle on why everything's
arriving late, we're an OEM

If You was a Flower

If you was a flower
and I was a bumblebee
wouldn't I do better than to sniff you
because of the strong chance
you're loaded with pesticides?

A Good Attitude

A good attitude
and a tight lip is generally
required for this job
that way you won't complain
much about the low wages

They Say a College

They say a college
degree is required for this
position, but why
wouldn't they pay someone enough
to pay back they student loans?

Is it Thursday Yet

Is it Thursday yet

'cause I feel like reminiscing

on a day & it

don't feel quite right if it ain't

Throwback Thursday?
