Downsizing
In office politics intense
You must put up a strong defense.
A mighty message foes will sense
When you construct a pencil fence.
Use pencils new and sharp and long -
With Number Twos you can’t go wrong.
Throw in a fine point pen or two...
The enemy will ne’er get through.
All your fellow MBA’s
Are fighting for your rightful place;
Every colleague is a rival,
You must fight for your survival!
The secretaries tell you lies,
“No mail for you!” the mail clerk cries,
Accounting lost all your receipts,
And “someone” broke your office seat!
They videotape the bathroom stalls
And tape record your personal calls.
There are ears in all the walls,
Just waiting for your axe to fall.
Some will say you’re paranoid
When water coolers you avoid.
But you can give them all the slip
On linoleum with a paper clip.
The work place is just dress rehearsal
For the office universal.
For people bring you strain and strife
In the cubicle of life. |
