Presumed to be written by someone who got caught in a layoff and who has ambitions to being the next Dave Barry ---------------------------------------------------------------- ODE TO ED At my terminal I sat typing Trying hard to fight off napping When there came a slight, soft rapping Rapping on my office door Only that and nothing more. Then I sat up, startled, freaking Just to hear a voice a-speaking "Your presence now I am a-seeking Seeking on the lobby floor Bring your badge and nothing more. I bolted upright, staggered, straining From my head the blood a-draining See the hurt and shock I'm feigning Feigning hurt and loss galore Pure BS and nothing more. Now the bloody axe is falling Now the perpetrator stalling "Presonnel may soon be calling Call you to another chore" I think "Right pal, nevermore" In my beach chair I'm a-napping Now my conciousness is sapping By thee soothing steady lapping Lapping wares upon the shore Just this beer, and then one more... ---------------------------------------------------------------- -- Bert Campbell Terzon Systems Inc.
