Ode to a good boss

by paul-f-clayton

To my boss, I'd like to dedicate This jovial kind of poem though It really turns my stomach Knowing that I know him I'd like to feign concern For all his woes and cares And pat him firmly, on the back Atop a flight of stairs When he goes on holiday I like to wish him well And hope he's going somewhere warm Like the furnaces of Hell He meets with lots of people Such as his clients and bookkeeper Why can't he meet someone new? Like for instance, "The grim reaper" If he should pop his mortal coil That would not make me grieve The thing that ticks me off the most Is, he shares the air I breathe He bores me with his witless jokes They're no cause for celebration The only time he'll make me smile Is at his burial or cremation Nobody seems to like him That's not open for debate I suspect when he's behind closed doors He likes to … err… fiddle
