Place On A Desktop

Seems like the only thing you all do is pout
what is it you're all complaining about
we all have to share this desktop you know
not like any of you have to work out in the snow.

 

Dexter, all you do is sharpen pencils
next you'll want your own drawer like the stencils?
Your as bad as Schaeffer the desk set pen
all he does is sign a check now and again

At least Stanley stapler has an excuse
like hole puncher Zack gets allot of abuse
wire basket, Bradley your job's simple as pie
you just hold paper whine snivel and cry.

Tom Thumb tacks and Bootsy's rubber bands mix
always in with all  Baumgartens twisted paper clips.
And we musn't forget this desktops persona of class
old widow paper weight, Mrs. Milifore crystal glass

My work's important and it's never through.
birthdays, anniversaries, things to do
appointment times, dates and people to see
none of you have to remember things like me.

I  keep the day organized and planned
have to hold everything right in hand
I'm gaining too much weight getting real fat
always adding page refills, this or that.

I know some secrets,  you'd all be appalled
even have all the phone numbers ever called
I record history and plan the future ahead
everything written I've already read

Then all the times I have to go along
locked in that briefcase where I don't belong
here on this desktop we all have our place

give me a break , don't be long in the face 

remember, a day planner like me, needs his space..

    To Funny

    Interesting and cleaver poem. I loved it this was so funny. How in the world did you come up with this one. The title Place on A Desktop, well yours all have special names I'm still laughing. Then you get all serious at the end. I don't even know what to say, I still can't stop laughing. It seems like the only thing you all do is pout! Oh no is that me too? Then
    the last line, Remember a day planner like me needs his space. Hey I have a day planner, so I guess I'm good. You should have got gold!!

    Just gotta love ya
    your sis
