From New York City


Our boss he is American
He hails from New York City
He drives a Toorak tractor
Which is really such a pity

He comes to work most every morn
Just hitting half past eight
We’re suppose to start at seven
Man, we think our boss is great

He dishes out a daily work
Like he isn’t there at all
He tells us all just where to go
In his New York City drawl

He’s always got a smile for us
And tales to make us laugh
And other stories that he tells
That makes you want to barf

We get so many weeks a year
For holidays you see
But our boss has used ten years worth
And he’s only been here three


He hates to work indoors all day
The computer drives him mad
We call him out for some small thing
And for that he’s really glad

Sometimes when he is sitting there
At lunchtime, he is snoring
When someone yells, hey boss wake up
It’s New York City calling

He rushes out to grab the phone
We’re sitting there all beaming
There’s no one on the other end
He comes back in all steaming

Oh what such fun we have each day
Our boss is something great
We think he’s tops, the best of all
He really is our mate

So that you see is our small ode
Our special little ditty
To someone who we love so much
That hails from New York City

    There is no such thing as this boss! me thinks you must be on the wacky baccy.Bosses are not meant to be liked or understood. Having said that the poem was a wonderful tribute to what a boss should be Even if it is imaginary
    Great write and read Excellent

    HiCondor

    I loved this poem! All that laughing keeps my abs in shape!LOL
    I lived in NYC for 31 years, and in Las Vegas for 31 years, so what am I? A New Vegan?LOL
    If this is true, and I have no reason to doubt it, he must be a brave sort to have relocated to Australia!
    Again, great poem! You've a splendid sense of humor.

      Thanks for reading this poem. I'd forgotten about this one. Our boss is super special. He's having a hard time at the moment because he has to juggle meeetings and sleeping and doesn't know which order to do them. lol!!!!!!! Actually he is renovating his house at this time and he comes in so tired some mornings, we tell him to go and nap in the sick bay. noone would notice. Damned pity his leasure time is interupted by work. lol!!!!!!! No, really, he is really special to us and so easy to get along with. Once again, thanks for reading. I've been trying to rate your answer but for some reason it won't do it. keeps saying there is an error on page. Stupid!
