Ode to
Paperwork
Paperwork is the work that gives me thrills
Paperwork, paperwork, it pays the bills
Return from vacation, mailbox full to the top
That means my job is too essential to drop
On a really good day I get a lot done
Tony has to hole punch a full metric ton
A metric ton, now that’s exaggeration
A solid six inches is a closer estimation
One sided, two sided, stapled and sort
Annuals and semi’s, post meeting report
Now that I’m older I prefer larger print
Anything too small causes me to squint
Upper left corner is where paperclips belong
Middle of the left side?
That is just wrong!
Sign it, date it, fill in all the blanks
What keeps me busy?
Paperwork! Thanks.
I also co-wrote another poem with 3 other co-workers that I will put on this blog as soon as I can find it again.
