Move Over The world will stop without you? No-one can take your place? Wake up and smell the coffee The facts you now should face To be part of the system You have to bend your mind In fact you’re almost nothing I know it sounds unkind Life can go on without you There’s always someone new I know at least a million folk With self importance too Stupid Ignorant Rat Why should I call you SIR Why should I call you that The last initial’s easy Of course it stands for Rat The first initial Stupid Just ears with nowt between I just stand’s for Ignorant The worst I’ve ever seen Laughing Folk are laughing at you Not with you as you think Trying to avoid the smell Is that your feet that stink Go back to the office Pollute your own space there As long as you are out of sight We don’t really care Eric Lance Davies |

Sweet? (laughting here) Your wit is sharp and your poetry enjoyable. I'll try to remember to stay on your good side, the Boss didn't so it seems |

When I think of bosses I always consider that the next could be worse...James |

Thankyou for your comments The boss isnt always right but he/she is always the boss (Until of course you get promoted above him.... or her) I was fortunate to have Lizzy as my boss (No chance of outranking her) I suppose lots of folk have Queens as bosses nowadays I just wrote the poem as a sort of joke people on the "shop floor" are usualy only happy when they are moaning about something. |

No I couldn't live without them below me on the floor. If only they would use their brains they wouldn't be so poor. As boss I don't do nothing double negatives allowed. But would you understand this if from the common crowd. I don't care if you hate me and think that I'm a rat, for that is not the game I'm in, no that's not what I'm at. I'm here to make a living make sure that you don't shirk, for managers just manage while others do the work. The world don't stop without them there's more to take their place. While I'm just drinking coffee they strive in life's rat race. Ignorant I may be but stupid I am not. I'd rather be the stinking boss than have to work a lot! If moaning keeps you happy then cry into your beer and write your little poems for those who want to hear just how flippin stupid you are to work like slaves then say you're laughing at ME! you're welcome to your raves.... |
