Around The Bored Room
Memo sent to all the fat heads,
all asked to the meeting
Suits pressed, choking ties
and more boring reading,
"Please have a seat!"
The agenda today,
to milk the cow,
and use the dredge
"Hey, I heard Tom was suicidal,
and somewhere on the window ledge"
Gathered to run a company
not, into the ground
When the CEO is speaking,
you best not make a sound
The mice will all play,
when the cats not around
Sleepy hollow heads
tired like the branches of a willow
Wishing the water whiskey
and their briefcase a pillow
