A cocky engineer on his way home Spotting his boss standing alone Perplexed and confused Totally bemused His groans soon turned to moans I'm trying to make this thing work But I'm starting to feel like a berk I need this copied tonight Or my deals out of sight What I need is a smart office clerk Hey boss, this is what you should do Let me push the button for you Insert your paper here It'll come out over there Your deal will make a dollar or two So into the machine his paper went Hoping that his deals heaven sent As it's taken with ease He can't believe what he sees It's bloody shredded, malcontent Hey, cocky engineer come back here This situation I don't endear Today you were employed Your now null and void It's about time you disappeared <*>

LOL It's always the boss who doesn't even know how to use a copy machine. Your last verse made me laugh out loud, James! Very witty. Love, Carolyn
