OFFICE GRIPE.

OFFICE GRIPE.

A Poem by Terry Collett
"

ON AN OFFICE GRIPE.

"



I have put up
with people
complaining
about having
to empty their
filing cabinets.

Maybe they'd
like some cheese
to go with their whine?

Wensleydale encrusted
with cranberries perhaps!

The cabinets contain
40yr old documents
& they didn't
feel like
taking them
out & then
having to
put them
back again
after the move
(Ah bless).

I don't think
the cabinets
have even
been opened
in 5yrs.

I know what
they're playing at
& they
probably think
they're being
really clever
(forgetting who
they're up against),
they'll put it off until
the last moment,
everyone
will be asked
to help out
& then they'll
have to
conveniently leave.

This is where
"Operation your having
a giraffe ain't ya?"
comes into place
aka
everything
gets shredded.

Written by my late son Oliver Collett.(1984-2014)
