The office satire

In he walks, brisk n fast
I wonder, "practising for march past?"
"hellooo...good morning", he cooes to us
I think.."hmm...good mood? wats the fuss?
Well it is 12, you are late by quite a while!"
I say"good morning..", and fake a smile.

The naughty imp in me...
With 2 horns n a tail,
n d tongue of d devil
a satiric grin, n an arch of eyebrows...
shoots words like arrows...

"he is a big disgrace...
nobody likes his face...
drunken by power...he plays many a trick...
the sight of him makes ppl sick"

I shudder n exclaim
"hey imp, get outta my head!
no satire...no venom..!"
but boss does something instead
n lights up the ticking bomb!

A mail hits my inbox
"God, thats from him!
Cmon man..is this all you do...?
Oh, While u'r at it, talk some sense too..."
"almost lunchtime..he'll go away..
my favourite time of day
What's for lunch? manure?"
I chide myself n reply, "sure sure"

There goes the naughty imp in me...


"he throws catchy phrases...
quotes virtues to win corporate races...
asks me to work smart...work is all I do...
acting smart is wat he does"

I shudder n exclaim
"hey imp, get outta my head!
no satire...no venom..!"
but boss does something instead
n lights up the ticking bomb!
