When the Great Administrator comes
To right my name against the sky,
He's sure to ask me who I bummed
And what I did before I died.

I kept the stationary cupboard stocked
And drank with Boy and Ricky,
At Glastonbury I wore frocks
But with lever-arch files was picky.

Ring binders are no good to me
I'm sure you guess the reason why,
My talents command the highest fee
My good chums include Izzard and Fry.

Tippex and yellow sticky notes
Toner cartridges and expensive coats,
Photocopying and making the tea
In the broom cupboard on my knees.

I am touched. You really should not spend that much time on me because frankly, there are better things to do. Do you think I spend my waking days worrying about you? I am having dinner with the Buena Vista Social club tomorrow night. You? Have a nice weekend and keep taking those bitter pills. Its a crap poem as well. Where is the eye in the stanzas? Ralph x

Reminds me of Wendy Cope. The style of poetry, that is, not the subject. I don't know if Wendy Cope's ever worked in theatre administration. I reckon it's good though.

Jesus, you are going to have a terminal breakdown when you lose your crap job Ralph. Why is it that you believe everybody here is impressed with your bragging. No one gives a damn who you get your feet in the troff with.

If you don't care why do you choose to comment. Take a look at yourself and not me. Nuff said x
