Sudden fury;
No amount of apology
Accepted by this sole jury.

Corporate Handbook

Touch not your fellow co-workers,
Serve well both internal and external stakeholders.
Shred all confidential information,
Lock your computer when going to the john.
Stifle your yawn at meetings,
Imbibe lightly during business gatherings,
Be discreet if you must ask,
“Has anyone seen my flask?”
Maintain a paper-free environment and don’t be dour,
Avoid socializing and merriment until after hours.
Be polite when you ask,
“May I please go home when I finish this task?”
Feel the Heal

Hot head, short fuse,
Sorry for the abuse.
Forgive the heel to butt,
I just treat you like my mutt.
Cushy bed, hot meal.
Make amends, begin to heal.
Now do me till I squeal,
That’ll seal the deal.

Sizzle to Fizzle

Their chemistry was right
At least at first sight,
For months they were tight
Then came the big fight.
Both their hearts took a bite
From each other they took flight,
Then after nearly a fortnight
They agreed to reunite.
But things don’t always crystallize
They soon realize,
When there’s no more to analyze,
Or a desire to compromise.
Empathy for the Bedeviled

A 6 by 8 compartment,
Surrounded by cement,
Every waking hour a lament,
Along with piss and excrement.
Day in, day out;
No sense of what’s about,
Only constant self-doubt
And gradual fade-out.
A seeming endless descent
Spiraling like a coiled serpent
Filled with malcontent,
Doing time in solitary confinement.
Childish Memories

Jack is nimble,
Small as a thimble,
Just like his friend Tom,
Whose last name goes by Thumb.
Raining cats and dog,
Better than warts and hogs.
Though rain won’t go away,
Thinking of Rebecca’s sunny day.
Still with hundreds of kids
All crammed in a Keds,
That old woman makes enough soup
To last until they droop.
He goes by Rumpelstiltskin
With such an evil grin,
He’s known to be mischievous
And can be so devious.
Tales so wondrous,
Fond memories
Of my friends,
Invisibles and pretends.

Ho, ho, ho,
Once again the three-chick trio,
The same Christmas rap encore,
But with a brand new musical score.

What was shown before.
Here’s to Christmas cheer
All through the New Year.
Happy New Year!

Life of the party,
Chugging drinks repeatedly;
Getting touchy-feely,
Much too flirty.
Borders blurred,
Speech sounds slurred,
Calling his boss a turd
And a colleague a nerd.
He falls on his nose;
His face glows,
Red as a rose,
“This office party blows!”
Slinking away with a sway,
Such a slow getaway,
Keeping everyone at bay,
Tomorrow he’ll call in sick for the day.
Controversial

Started out as jovial
Then turned adversarial,
Out came a pistol
All for a crystal . . .
Meth.
Scents and Incensedsibility

I sense something afoot;
I scent a deadly toot,
That threatens to pollute.
You ate that massive bean burrito
Chased it with a glass of mojito,
So stop playing incognito.
No worries though;
I’ll clear the air flow,
By politely asking you to go.
