Tolerance for a short time

I worked with someone recently in a Consultancy

And times and Harvey is always there 6 foot 3 rabbit the last I heard

And I did pay cash money to watch James Stewart in London, but

I wouldn't have paid for these

And a poem - of course - or mine

For Control Freaks
Who still are unable to learn

            The Five Year Old Executive

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
