Hurry! Hurry! Push and shove <br />No time to spare - for a little love <br /> <br />Be sure you do not arrive late for work <br />Or your boss will truly go berserk <br /> <br />Do as your told, and don’t ask why <br />For their rules - you must abide by <br /> <br />You mustn’t speak out of line <br />Or you may wind up on - the assembly line <br /> <br />If you want - to become a success <br />You must comply, - and always say - yes <br /> <br />You haven’t a mind of your own <br />Because you owe your soul to the savings and loan <br /> <br />So if you want to continue to eat <br />Your job and your life, you must keep discrete <br /> <br />For when you retire and your work is through <br />The government will tell you - just what to do <br /> <br />But when you die, - and you’re finally free in heaven <br />You’ll have no boss, to give you direction <br /> <br />12/09/06<br /><br />Dave Tanguay<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-owe-i-owe-so-it-s-off-to-work-i-go-poem/
