The Manager's Lament

The Manager’s Lament
From the small office window,
Across my land of cubicles,
I see three consultants converge.

Their gaze shifts towards me,
They sneer remarks untowardly,
Far too quiet to be heard.

For I am the manager,
Who takes their anger
And accepts all responsibility.

They could not have known
How I thought once I’d grown
Into an adult from just a baby

That I’d have great adventures
Dash from angry pinchers
And explore sunken wreckage.

Instead I have sold
As my life unfolds
My true dreams for a 401k package.
