Yesterday with a song in my heart I cycled to work in the rain.

Ploughing through puddles with legs held high - Only my butt got wet.

Upon arrival the office was empty - Apart from a chappy called Pawel.

A cheerful guy. He hails from Łódź. We hope next year to hitch across Asia.

Anyways - There we were - Sipping hot coffee and musing on ants.

When out of the blue my cell phone rings. I’m summoned to see The Boss.

A rare event - I quiver and wibble - I couldn't remember his name.

I combed my hair and checked my flies then quietly muttered this prayer.

So help me G-d if he sacks me I’ll kill him! Knock Knock! Come in! Despair!

Screwed up on his desk I spot the assignment I handed in last week.

He scoops it up - Waves it about - Then drops it in the bin.

What came next was an eloquent lecture - Crap and sucks were frequently mentioned.

His final words - Do it again! At which point I realised I still held my coffee!
