SIGNS OF OUR TIMES ** Image ID #816557 Unavailable ** Stuck in a job I really didn't like, I worked like a dog both morning and night! The one thing I did that really was fun Was to make up the signs, like this one. A chance to create, to get some attention, I wrote a love note that I won't mention. It was special, you see, with flower and heart; But the boss got mad, and ripped me apart! "Change the stupid sign" he shouted in rage; Made me feel like I belonged in a cage! So I changed it, it wasn't hard work - I could tell everyone my boss was a jerk! Signs of our times, when we have a chance To put our two cents in, getting a glance From people who pass and nod as they go, My point well taken, it really does show That revenge is something to be admired; Would've been better if I hadn't been fired! It all worked out for the best in the end, A better job was waiting around the bend! Now when I write, I get a pat on the back; The boss likes me and there's no attack On my creative juices that continue to flow And I get a few smiles where ever I go! Countrymom 2/17/04 |
