We're Just Dwarves  With a 'hi' and a 'ho' and an 'off we go' our profession chose to be Each new day the same as the day before how 'satisfied' are we With a brain-dead mask we starch our face our thoughts will never surface An opinion given such as ours treated like one from the circus Yet down the road on a dismal day our opinion saves their butt But it's one we gave six months ago and our opinion it was not Rex}<{{{{o> I'm not ugly! I'm just visually challenged! |

Very good. I hate those work place politics. Just smile and nod. I will be looking for more of yours. But I must sleep now. |

Wonderful poem and presentation, Rex! Truth, whimsy, biting humour...this piece has it all...and I love the "starch our faces" line...such a neat take on this! I've been in the same scenario you've shared here, and it's a difficult one, to say the least. I am grateful, every day, for no longer having to be a dwarf...now I am free to be Snow White! (which, I must confess with a sigh, is not all it's cracked up to be, if you'll recall from the Brothers Grimm tale...) Loved this poem, Rex. |

I am glad someone finally told it how it is. Great verse Rex.  *slinking back behind the rubber tree* |

thanks everyone ... it's sometimes very difficult to bite our tongues ... I can't say as I know anyone that enjoys being treated like a dope and then have our ideas stolen by glory seeking butt kissers Thankyou Claire ... while your Snow White ... see if you can coax Bashful out from behind the rubber tree Rex |

Rex~ I really enjoyed the way you formatted this. Your humor is welcomed here for sure. I LOVE my job but they clearly know the good Lord made me 5'2" ... not 3'2" to fall to my knees and kiss butt ! ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

Thanks Marge ... I work for a Union Co now for the first time and the atmosphere on the job I find is similar to the feeling one gets when first entering Passions from the News Groups I'm treated like a member Like an equal member .....refreshing..... |

Rex Allen, Rex Allen, so glad you did stay. and I am happy that you have found a greener pasture to graze in...Although I am not a dwarf, myself, I can relate somewhat, being of the Hobbit variety. |

Great poem Rex. I too once allowed myself to be pushed to the side only have my ideas stolen by my "higher ups" But...just last week I had my fill of it...so now it's... "hi ho hi ho it's off looking for work I go..." Thanks for an enjoyable read. Chris Never be a carbon copy of anybody...make your own impressions. - ANON. |

Gee, this is the only poem I've seen here that I could watch for hours. It's almost hypnotizing, like an aquarium |

Hobbits are good! they saved the world from itself ... it's only fitting they should be monitoring the internet Chris ... after reading your poetry ... one would think you would be quite good at a Resume Balladeer ... when I count to three you will write another excellent poem ... one ... two ... three |
