The Door
There’s a little door behind my desk
It will not budge, I try my best
I pull and tug but it is stuck
I knock three times and try my luck
All day I sit and stare at it
Any longer I may have a fit
My tedious job makes for no distraction
I need to think less and take some action
At lunch I buy a box of tools
I open up, sift through the screws
I grab something that looks like it would do the trick
When it doesn’t work I consider a brick
Hours, days and weeks go by
Curiosity eats at me, and I want to cry
I jump up and rush out through the door
Then return a little later with a razor sharp saw
Like a woman possessed, I cut through the wood
No one dares to stop me, not that they ever could
It finally gives in to the pressure and inside lies a note
“Ha ha” It says, “You’ve just fallen for the biggest joke.”
