STILL NO BONUSES
I never wished I knew karate
Till my boss came to work
In his new Maserati

EXCEL MONKEY
At the mention of back pain
I sit up straight
Although I am no slouch
Blame the computer chair
To which I’m slave
What for these spreadsheets
Can avouch

REVIEW CYCLE
Once again my performance review glowed with praise
Too bad no one in government work gets a raise

COLORLESS
White shirt, khaki pants,
Brown shoes, brown socks,
Brown wallet, brown belt,
Brown hair, brown eyes,
Gray carpet, blue chair:
Hurry, hurry and grow up, my son.
Study, study hard.
And if you’re lucky
You’ll spend your bright days
In a place just as sucky.
