The art of the trivial

Being nibbled to death by ducks,
I suppose, is not a drastically
bad way to go

Gently scoured from your toes
to your nose, beats running
onto the sword of a foe

Setting the alarm to wake up
at four and multi-tasking
out of the door

Sitting in meetings that tire
and bore, all beat violent
death in some war

Sitting in cubicle 1
feeling tired, the nastiest fate
is being told that you're fired

A lot of that going on around. I always try to give myself a good talking too every time I get sick of being at work. Because I think I'd be even sicker on the unemployment line. Good take on a workers frustration. Rich

Thanks Pia. Thanks Rich. Getting up for work is a pain, but there are a lot of folks facing the axe that would swap places. Glad you both enjoyed this bit of fun. ;-)

Being told that you're to be fired...from a cannon. That would suck.

Thanks Bee. Big time, Talisman. Unless you could earn a comfortable living at it. Thanks.
