lipstick, smug, <br />superior, <br />a fixed expression <br />on her unresourceful face, <br />everything to be done <br />by the book. <br /> <br />unaware of rumours <br />surrounding her and the CEO - <br />lies, of course, <br />they must be; <br />even if true, <br />to be demolished <br />by threatened repercussions. <br /> <br />the coup came <br />with the merger, <br />bringing her victory <br />and a reputation. <br /> <br />she was top dog, <br />top cat, top cow, <br />bitch - whatever: <br />a real human resource <br />where the personal personnel <br />had once been. <br /> <br />being proud, <br />she bullied, <br />taking the cue <br />from her master's voice, <br />wielding the power <br />over his dominions. <br /> <br />if pride really does <br />come before a fall, <br />it's taking <br />a bloody long time!<br /><br />Len Webster<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/human-resource-officer/
