He slouches in office doorways <br /> A piece of paper in his hands <br /> Blabbing the latest scuttlebutt <br /> The piece of paper is just a sham <br /> He's talking to a salesman <br /> The poor customer has to wait <br /> Trying to get something for nothing <br /> You can tell by the look on his face <br /> His luncheon topic is insurance <br /> What a killing he made on the claim <br /> He's happy to let you know <br /> He's training junior to do the same <br /> You always hear about his wins <br /> But never about his losses <br /> His family knows all to well <br /> Just who the heck the boss is <br /> This verse could go on forever <br /> But now that it's off my chest <br /> I'm resigned to live and let live <br /> The Goof-off can write the "rest"<br /><br />Ellwood F.
