Well, Whee!

I’ve got a secret. I won’t tell.

But it has made my spirit swell.

Don’t ask. Don’t peek.

Not gonna leak.

Just trust me. Things will turn out well.

 I simply can’t stay in my chair.

My mind, it zips from here to there.

Sit still? No way.

Not gonna say.

But soon wild wonders I’ll declare.

Point Blank

To play strategic on the job,

Be careful whom you might hobnob.

A manager who works with me

Is bothered by not one, but three.

These cads will not give up the chase;

They constantly invade her space.

“Step back,” she said, fair to exclaim.

The point is clear. It’s not a game.

Your outcome’s sure to disappoint;

Don’t get your noses out of joint.

Look to yourselves, you garish guys.

Behind her head she might have eyes,

But never for the likes of you,

Because you do too hard pursue.

They disremember she’s the boss,

Which leaves the rest of us at loss.

But soon they’ll be up for review,

And they can bid a raise adieu.

May-Glow Maniac

One need not be in politics

To practice down-and-dirty tricks.

A cranium may grow obscene

When one fixed on himself is keen.

Look how he swells;

The tales he tells,

While seeking others to demean.

To gain all glory he’ll embark.

He operates without benchmark.

No conduct clue,

He’s much ado –

We think he might glow in the dark.

No pound of flesh will satisfy,

Nor does he still his battle cry.

Napoleon

By him’s outdone.

To this one rules do not apply.

His self-strong shell is compromised,

Though he to date is unchastised.

Enough! Enough!

Let’s call his bluff.

A blowhard’s trust is ill-advised.
