You're Fired



Beep..
"Your fired"
A text from my Boss
" No. You're fired."
I replied
"What does that mean?"
He asked
"You're means you are."
I sighed

Beep..
" Are you saying I'm fired?"
He texted back
"No! I'm saying it's not "Your."
You made a mistake."

Beep..
" You are out of your mind.
This decision is mine.
Mistake was made when you were hired.
Now I'm correcting it. Mister Your Fired."

I say, " Decision is wrong as well,
But I'm not talking about that.
It's not Your, I'm sure as hell
So, you better take that back."

Beep...
"I think Your in shock.
But don't blame me.
Blame company's declining stock.
Though now I'm not sorry."

Sigh.. " For the last time its not your.
            Your grammar needs a cure."
Beep..
"Oh Grammar I see.
Look I'm sorry.
It is an upper management decision.
Not in my hands
I hope you will not consider it treason.
And Understand"

" It's OK Boss. I really don't mind.
If you inspect your table you will find.
You're not in a position to let me go,
I put my resignation there 2 days ago."
