26. It’s a Rap

At lot people know me and call me Bob
Mostly it’s because of my position and job

I get to spend money on the behalf of our firms
I negotiate great rates and get good terms

I have a fine office and my window is pretty cool
But not as nice as retirement and sitting by the pool

My desk is never cluttered because I hate such things
I try to keep it polished and free of coffee rings

On a daily basis people come and go
Some trying to sell me, others just want to know

I try to mind my manners but its quite tough
Especially when I hear the same old things and really have had enough

I used to have my own company with a title to match
But I must admit I like my present job only there’s one catch

Because as I sit here working with the time whizzing by
The substance of my creativity will never take wing and fly
