Well open to people on this one - I never thought it was good enough to publish but I still have that feeling that these people exist.

I want my people back
You've taken them away
And there's that man
Who comes in anyway
He should do what I tell him
Why isn't he wearing a tie
I want him here, now
I'll sort things out
You've had a long day
I stay until he's gone
You'll sleep I hope
I'll browse these papers
I save them to the last
In my country we stay here for the night
Why must you be the last one out
I manage this department
Why dont you let him work
You prevent the work being done
He has to do it now
No-one works after I have gone
He can come in when I begin
But they are using the systems
He can work around
But how can he do the work
I dont care

I tend to agree with you,  I think they are
all over the place..

Lord above dont you know I'm crying

Ray Charles was the master and the Blues Brothers gently took the fun but he was above everything.

Someone defined the 3 plus or minus 2 ability to think.

It was that, that made me write it.
