I'm feeling quite rough, I confess;
In work everything is a mess.
'Bout my leave I got cross
And I yelled at the boss!
I've screwed everything up -- more or less!

33590 JOBS - BOSSES



Is your boss related to mine?
He's such a jerk all the time.
Can't wait to retire
Before I expire,
And turn into jelly and slime...

33591 JOBS - BOSSES  Jim Weaver Collection



An assistant C.E.O. called Jan,
Was always left holding the can.

There was a young worker named Sean,
Who at his work does nothing but yawn.
The foreman said, "My lord,
If you're easily bored,
I'll make you sorry that you were born!"

33593 JOBS - BOSSES  Arthur Pattaffy



If it's done and it's right, never fear
'Cause it's fine and the buck stops right here.
But if it's a loss,
And it's wrong, it's the boss
Who's at fault, let me make that quite clear.

33594 JOBS - BOSSES  Joe Guerin



There once was a fellow called Jackson,
Who was brilliant at loafing and relaxing.

For his everyday boss

33595 JOBS - BOSSES  Prof M-G  T9710



So you like to lurk in the dark,
And write little lims as a lark.
But get back to work,
As the boss is a jerk,
Who suppresses your creative spark.

33596 JOBS - BOSSES  Funny Bone

Whenever two companies merge
Down-sizing will also emerge.

While he worked on the job, Mr. Wheeling
Held his head toward the sky with great feeling.
When his boss asked him why,
He was facing the sky,
He replied, "I'm inspecting the ceiling."

My boss, he is wholly devoted
To work and today was promoted
To a new position.
But there is a suspicion
He got it by being deep-throated.

33601 JOBS - BOSSES  Carol



Often late, my boss still blows his horn;
About timeliness, us he would warn.
Let's say: rank has its perc;
The old boy comes to work
From a different direction each morn.

33602 JOBS - BOSSES  Allen Wolverton



Our Chairman gets data from spies.
He'll make up stuff and tell us lies.

There was a young newsman named Wes,
Whose boss he did try to impress.
He would cover a story,
If he thought it meant glory.
The editor could not have cared less.

33604 JOBS - BOSSES  Arthur Pattaffy



Maybe the bosses are related;
They're certainly all overrated.
A masochist am I;
I've worked for this guy,
For fifteen years and I hate it.

33605 JOBS - BOSSES  Jim Weaver Collection



It's hard to find good men and hire 'em;

There was a young typist of Ross
Who drew a crude sketch of the boss.

The Boss with some hormone control
Sees things are now taking their toll
Decides to clean house,
But doesn't DELOUSE.
Lawyers stay, it's staff heads that roll.

Getting my employment tribunal underway.

There was a young fellow named Strudel;
All day long at his job he did doodle.

And he followed him 'round like a poodle.

33611 JOBS - BOSSES  Albin Chaplin Appeal 1918



At my work I worked with young Bob,
We talked quite a lot on the job.
The boss cared not for talk;
Told us to take a walk;
On the dole, with no jobs, we hob-nob.

33612 JOBS - BOSSES  Arthur Pattaffy



I once knew a girl from Wisconsin
Who poured lighter fluid by Ronson
All over her boss,
Because she was cross
And wanted control of his Johnson.

33613 JOBS - BOSSES  Travis Brasell



One day I will strangle my boss;
Cut him up into pieces and toss
Him a bit at a time,
Into pits full of lime...
Ah, that's better; I'm feeling less cross.

33614 JOBS - BOSSES



He screwed up the clerk and her life
And then he went home to his wife.
These lawyers don't care
About an affair.

33615 JOBS - BOSSES



I'd much rather not work, Just stall.
I wish that the system would fall,
And hit with a crash
Then I could get cash,
For just doing nothing at all.

Employers have all of the jobs;
Without them, well we are just yobs.
They hold them all tight,
'Cause they love the sight
Of pleading reduced down to sobs.

33617 JOBS - BOSSES  Archie



A break I'm now taking from work;
A welcome, if minuscule, perk;
And though pre-arranged
Seems the boss is deranged;
He's just mailed me some work, stupid jerk.

33618 JOBS - BOSSES



I can't stand this working anymore;
It isn't any fun -- it's a bore.
Another dollar today;
That's how little they pay;
I need combat wage for this chore!

33619 JOBS - BOSSES  Jim Weaver Collection



No fooling at work?  Such a loss!
It's clear that you need a new boss.
No play and all work
Would drive me berserk.
My drill bits should not "gather moss."

33620 JOBS - BOSSES  Marlene Lewis



To work for the boss has it's use;
It gives me the cash to buy juice,
So I can ease cares,
Perhaps lay some snares
For one who I'd like to seduce.

33621 JOBS - BOSSES



Oh sod it. My boss, unforgivin',
Expects me to work for a livin'.
Each night and each day
With no respite for play;
And to edges of madness I'm driven.

33622 JOBS - BOSSES



Some men will endure all the stress
To climb to the heights of success.
But on reaching the pinnacle,
You will find they turn cynical --

I can't read his mind, it's too small;
I can't understand him at all.
I'll give you the scoop:
The boss is a poop
Besides which he's not very tall!

33624 JOBS - BOSSES  Marlene



I should have been working away
But the project's been cancelled today.
Should the boss still expect
Me to work, in effect,
I shall tell him quite bluntly, "No way!"

33625 JOBS - BOSSES  Peter Wilkins



My co-worker and I were called crass,
But then others joined up to kiss ass.
With manner OBSEQUIOUS
They formed a clique wi' us
To line up and salute the brass.

33626 JOBS - BOSSES  Norm



What a wonderful ending you see;
From this asshole, you will be free.
And roles you will switch
'Cause payback's a bitch:
Cutting, crushing, choking... What glee!

33627 JOBS - BOSSES



If you don't want your boss to say nay,
When you ask leave to do things your way,
Then you better ask soon;
Don't delay until June;
'Cause permissions are granted by "May".

33628 JOBS - BOSSES  Peter Wilkins



What d'ya mean by "working it through"?
Does your boss still treat you like poo?
I don't mean that Bear,
But it's so unfair;
Why can't he take on someone new?

33629 JOBS - BOSSES

Of having his ideas mired
In red tape.  He roared
At the head of the Board.

The work is a damn deadly bore.
The same crap we looked at before.
It has not been changed;
It's not rearranged.
Next week, we'll go look at some more!

33632 JOBS - BOSSES



That secretary pines all day
The Boss will her way again stray.
For work she's no time
I think he's a slime.
She played, but now I get to pay.

33633 JOBS - BOSSES



When I get so damned bored at work,
Responsibility I shirk.
When my boss comes by,
I look in his eye
And give him a shit-eatin' smirk.

33634 JOBS - BOSSES



But one day I'll give up this job
And I'll throttle him slowly, the slob.
I'll enjoy the surprise
And the fear in his eyes,
As I slice off his bollocks and knob.

33635 JOBS - BOSSES



If he's "sucked" his way to the top,
Between posts, it seems he can hop.

Unemployed!  I am now out of work;
The manager, I think he's a jerk.

This week I've to stay in a cheap
Nasty ghastly hotel; I could weep.
Yes, I've been there before
And I said never more
But the boss says I've got to; the creep.

Last time I was there, got a cramp
On account of the mould and the damp
On the ceiling and walls,
And I singed my poor balls
With electrical shocks from the lamp.

As tarts and their punters went sneaking
Upstairs in the gloom
To the very next room;

The bathroom was way down the hall,
For there wasn't an en suite at all;
And I queued for an hour
For a pee and a shower,
Which was colder than ice, I recall.

I complained but they told me to cease;
If I didn't stop my noise,

The outlook's exceedingly bleak;
I'll be there for the rest of the week.

Did you notice the cute chambermaid?

I once met a guy from Glasgow
And this is a true story you know.
He couldn't speak French
And this stupid wench
At a bank counter, kept telling him to go.

So woke in a terrible fright!

So searched for a bank in the town.

And "waste time on him" they would not.

In Norway, surrounded by pig-
Eons, live three goats, high on a ridge;
A great game they'd learnt,
But happy they weren't.
They needed a fourth one for bridge.

33867 JOBS - PROFESSION - ARCHITECT  Tiddy



This lack, on their hearts, took a toll,
So rousing themselves for a stroll,
Way down from their eyrie,
'Til feeling quite weary,
They came to a bridge, with a troll.

Now trolls, kids, despite what you see
In books, are just nice as can be,

"Hey Hey," said the goats.  "Oh how jolly!"
They thus with indecency
Found the right frequency,
And tramped, Yelling "Troll, get your brolly!"

So soon then the bridge lay quite shattered;
The troll, Rosa, cut, bruised, and battered,
While on the far shore
Where they'd ne'er been before,
The goats mocked and giggled and chattered.
