neck
tied
the testosterone
caught the anger
inside the zone
skull is heaving
sense is leaving
now I need to be alone

slacks
cut off
the circulation
it’s a deadly
combination
tightened waist
leads to haste
in quiet desperation

pressed
shirt
denies the wrinkles
robs the eye
of  little twinkles
I’m looking stiff
I’d say what if
I ate the donut
without the sprinkles

dress
shoes
looking tidy
I think this might
just be my day
until asks chief
“why weren’t you briefed?
today is
casual Friday”

LOL...cute one!!! Even here, in 200 degree weather we are not allowed to be THAT casual...sigh.....it's a shame..all our clients come in dressed very casually but we have to 'maintain' standards..

We're never allowed to get TOO casual... and pantyhose in a hot, humid steambath should be considered cruel and unusual punishment, especially when the bus stop is several blocks away! LOL

I enjoyed this, walt... even if you missed one casual Friday, you're still better off than many. *G*

well even though I sometimes miss my skirts and heels...my job now (climbing under desks to retrieve and route wires and such) dictates casual dress...though us IS people are the only ones allowed, it is a privaledge we work hard to maintain *grin*
