A woman at my work
Resigned
Amid many tears
And bouquets of
Flowers
She'd been with
The same company
For twenty years
She made an announcement
To my coworkers and I
"Tomorrow everyone is
getting together at the
Tap house, you guys are
Welcome to come"
My one coworker
A bean pole with
A ***** blonde
Ponytail and goatee
Agreed to go
Before she had even
Finished speaking
He's 37 and
Still lives with his
Parents and has
No desire to do
Anything
He once told me
That he didn't get
Why people went to
The beach
"Why go to the beach
When I can sit by
My pool? There's nothing
The beach offers that
My pool doesn't"
Anyone that can't tell
The difference between
A chemically shocked
Puddle in a backyard
And
The vast living
Expanses
Of the ocean
Should be considered
A danger to public
Health
Plus
Like people with two
First names
I don't trust men
With ponytails
I figured I'd go
I don't mind most of
The people I work with
Except for the
Ponytailed ***** boy
But then I started
To think about all
The times that this
Woman had:
Purposely stepped over
The morning
Paper so that I would
Have to bring it in
Threw her hands
Up in disgust when the
Copier was out of paper
And told me to fill it
Over her shoulder while
Walking to her office
Told me to fill
The coffee maker
With water while she
Clicked her tongue
And painted her nails
Threw work on my desk
Without a word
Wandering off to a
Higher floor to
Chortle behind a closed
Door with one of the
CFOs or CEOs or
Whoever the ****
But worst of all she
Thought ventriloquists
Were genuinely funny
I figured
That after two years
She was the one
That should buy me
A drink
