It just gets worse

[thessalian]

Monica and Violet are still out today, and there's no one to cover them. Apparently there are no temps available and there are ten people in the department out sick. You should see Violet's office -- it's chaos. Then again, mine's no better. It's going to be a very, very long day. Or just a very short but very hectic one.

Help?

all the world seems to sing
on a ... er, winter morning
as i poison coworkers at the job
every ... er, tuesday you'll see
a quite gleeful me
as i poison coworkers at the job
i'll murder them all and laugh as they choke and seize
except the ones i make deal with their responsibilities
the sun's shining bright (sort of)
everything seems all right ...

*snicker*

Some of that really doesn't scan, but for an off-the-cuff effort, not bad at all. Though I'd turn that fourth-to-last and third-to-last lines to read "I'll murder them all and then laugh as they choke and seize / except the ones out due to being plagued with disease". A little bit rough but at least it generally follows the rhythm. ^_^

"i'll murder them all, and make it not painless nor quick / except for the ones who happened to ring in sick"?

something. i'm high on life, and by high on life, i mean low on sleep.

Hey, at least it has amusement value. Go get some rest, you daft bugger.
