POEM - Job Shadowing is Boring!

Going to work with dad

Should be a fun day

And she barely slept

With the anticipation

It should be a great day

But she ended up

With a sore throat

And a cough

And she was tired as could be

Because she hadn’t slept

At least not very well

Dad works in an office

A rather quiet and boring office

With lots of boring spreadsheets

And a big boring book

Filled with tiny boring numbers

Which squashed all excitement

With a heavy load of boring boringness

She tried to be positive

Didn't want to hurt dad’s feelings

But when you’re sick

You can’t always be nice

And everyone just needs to deal

Because she is ready to go

Has had enough

Of this so called fun

The paperwork is complete

The day is over

Come on

Can’t we just go?

Okay sweetie

You've been patient

Learned your lesson

Been on good behavior

Your sentence is over

The debt to society paid

Grabbing the keys

Turning off the lights

You shall be free

You shall be released
