FIDGETING GUARDS
To work in Security,
To be nervous must be a key…
Drumming the desk
And all the rest
Of habits that AGGRAVATE me.
–
A little soft drumming’s okay,
But full orchestration?—-NO WAY!
If their bygone hope is
Accompanying Jennifer Lopez,
Then working here just isn’t the way.
–
Whomever checks the camera has fun,
Checking out the bad habits of each one…
Riding “horsey” and rocking
On a chair that’s breaking,
After a month or two of what’s done!
–
Gum-snapping, my teacher’s heart says,
Should be for teenagers’ plays…
One or two do,
Should be old enough, too,
To save that for off duty days.
–
And what do I do in the shuffle,
But constantly–frequently–snuffle…
By a staircase my nose
Blowing echoes,
There are quite a few feathers I can ruffle!
