My name is Gee I have a crap job If I’m not busy soon I will end up a slob! My eyes are sore Looking at my pc My head hurts too God no more tea! I try my best Just to keep my cool But it proves so hard And I feel such a fool! I start work at 8 And finish after 4 I just want some work Please give me more! My friends on DD They keep me sane But I know they are thinking Oh no, not her again! I know the problem It’s clear to see Everyone bluffs But no, not me! It could be worse I think to myself I could be one of those people Who end up on the shelf! And so tis my story I wish I could find A job that would give me Some peace of mind! All I need now is a publisher!  |

The rat race is tough
As we all know
Better hold on tight
And go with the flow
With the bills to pay
The food and the rent
It flies through our fingers
So quickly spent
The credit crunch
Has taken its toll
Let’s hear some good news
Let’s rock n roll!
Roll on the summer
Let’s get a tan
And forget about work
Take a break, man!
So many places
So little time
I’m doing my best
To make this rhyme
So here’s to those folk
There’s many like me
Who want a new job
A place to be free,
Of the gossip and fuss
The coughing and sneezing
The tapping of pens
It’s just disbelieving
Never before
In my working day
Have I ever encountered
Such skivers at play
The world is our oyster
What does that mean?
Can someone tell me
Or else I’ll scream
Is it Friday yet?
Are we hanging on?
For the hands on the clock
To say, Be Gone!
And so as I sit
And wait for my break
I think to myself
The best things in life come to those who wait

The next Poet Laureat (or should that be Laureate) has spoken!
I'd vote for you!

I'm on a roll today...
I’m so hot and bothered
Last week I was cold
Am I having a crisis?
Am I getting old?
I can’t stand the gossips
Those who act dumb
No time for wasters
Or the many who hum
Every day is the same
I’m so bored you see
Is everyone happier
And busier than me?
The women are catty
The men are a pain
Am I the only one
With half a brain?
The dust and the dirt
Makes it hard to show off
All the nice clothes
With the money I’ve bought
The devil wears Prada
If only I could
Even breaking a nail
Puts me in a mood
Please book me a flight
To the isle of my dreams
Where I can sip cocktails
And watch the ocean gleam

Adobe or not to be
That is the mess
This new IT jargon
Has me up the left
Is it bites or bytes
Chips or RAM
Is the helpdesk listening?
Do they give a damn?
We zip and we print
Our files and programs
Then ask for assistance
When something goes wrong
We edit and bind
Format and spell
Should I use Access
Or maybe Excel?
Outlook has crashed
What does it mean?
Where are my documents?
What is a theme?
My contacts are missing
My tasks are no more
But still there’s an error
Did we need Norton before?
The office assistant
In days of the past
Was a person you worked with
Not a dog or a cat
What is an icon?
A shortcut? A path?
Where is my dictionary?
Who did the Math?
Who is this Gates?
Bill to his friends
He’s a lot to answer for
Setting these trends
We have to survive
With all these upgrades
I’m becoming ill
I need some shade,
From all of the glare
That hits us each day
When we first log on
At the start of the day
Alas and alack
The day it draws nigh
No more IT jargon
Til the sun hits the sky

Women
It’s tough being a woman
Attractive we are
We put on our face
And dye our hair
The men in our lives
Expect so much
Don’t get old
Or gain an inch
The trends we follow
The patterns we set
Forget the cost
Or how much we spent
With Botox and filler
The nips and the tucks
We keep them guessing
What age we look
We plump and we polish
We scrub and we tan
All this to stay young?
All this for a man?
Not a grey hair in sight
Not a wrinkle or crease
How dare we give into
An extra piece
Of that chocolate fudge cake
Or Haagan Das ice
We left in the fridge
Just only last night
The diets the fads
How bad they must be
Depriving ourselves
Of food we can’t eat
But so ‘tis the trends
We read in the mags
Did you ever see Munroe
Look like a hag?
Vogue and Cosmo
Elle and Red
Is there something I’ve missed?
One I haven’t read?
Judy, Liza
Barbra, Bette
These are names
I shan’t forget
(inspired by the last verse, a one liner from Will & Grace!)
