No Any Other Business

Post by Daniel-book »

I am a bad, terrible employee, I must confess,
I attended a staff meeting today,
Before it started, I almost shouted, ‘Any Other Business?’’
But I reminded myself to be humble and obey!

As the chair of the meeting rattled this and that,
I was thinking of the wet lips of the girl I kissed last night,
They were sweet, soft and as I remembered every detail I felt my drowsy eyes closing,
I pinched myself and reminded myself to stop joking!
And so I sat upright and lurched my chest forward,
Only to hear the speaker saying, ‘Thank you for listening, I have nothing more to add.’’

As the next speaker took over with jest,
My mind drifted to my wife’s full breasts,
My heart sank and I realized that I have really missed her,
It is the present speaker who startled me when he said, ‘’That is all I have observed so far.’’
I nodded in approval as if I did not have any doubt,
While in reality I did not know what the f*ck he was talking about!

As the next person stood to speak,
I was now becoming tired and sick,
I wanted to shout, ‘’Are we not just a bunch of broke, frustrated people?’’
But then again I did not want to step on other’s ego,
And so my mind drifted back to the plot of the novel I was reading,
As the others continued with the staff meeting.

As the next speaker took over, I wanted to ask her,
‘’May I please have a glass of cold Tusker?’’
But then I remembered the chair cautioning, ‘No more excessive drinking!’’
And I was like, what the hell am I thinking?
My mind then drifted to Science fiction; satellites, electromagnetic waves and swinging pendulum,
Until when I heard the chair, almost in a groan, shouting,’’Next Agendum!’’

When it finally reached the time for A.O.B,
I started thinking of what the future has in store for me,
And right there and then I resolved to stop living a lie,
I will not hold on to this job any longer, I must testify,
It is time to risk and move on to turn my passion into profession,
I am a bad employee, I must confess,
This meeting is adjourned, there being no any other business!
