Office Politics

Intern chokes on his gooseberry fool

Consternation in the typing pool

Press the flesh, do the deal

Book your place on the hamster wheel

See that PowerPoint presentation

Worthy of a BAFTA nomination

Zero hours, maximum pressure

You know what they say about business and pleasure

Sir Hillary looks at them all and sighs

Closes up the venetian blinds

He made his fortune on the horses

Using the rules of market forces

He’s got his eye on a chap named Knox

Sell his granny for some high yield stocks

Always thinks outside the box

Always wears hilarious socks

Office politics…

Christine thinks of the Christmas party

Martini after Martini

William tried but there was no stopping her

Taking a ride on the photocopier

‘Live for now, bugger the future!’

Thus spake Zara Brewster

She put the snaps on her Facebook page

And got sacked the following day

Office politics…

Sir Hillary sighs, recalls the days

You could use your position to get your way

Now put your hand where it shouldn’t be

And soon you’ll be on indefinite leave

No use now for the old school tie

Only the greedy need apply

Another intern chokes on his gooseberry fool

Mild amusement in the typing pool

Office politics…
