My job is easy, isn’t it?
All I basically do is sit? But it’s not easy, when you suddenly realise That talking and sitting are all that your skills set comprise. I could do this job enthrallingly Not as people think, appallingly But it’s not easy when you’ve been idle so long You can’t tell the things you do right, from the things you do wrong. I’m reviewing my occupation I’m a manager, but is there a better way? Why is it always, delegation I’m sure there’s a leadership role I can play; Perhaps ask colleagues what to do Listen to my team’s point of view Introduce thinking that’s fresh and new Inspire and lead them safely through…… But what if things should go awry? And my bosses then begin to pry? I’ll be the one who they’ll blame Failure will be linked with my name And then if I’m in disgrace I’ve no chance of a larger office space… I think I’d better delegate again. But, I could do this job iconically Not as people think, moronically But it’s not easy to change when in such a comfortable zone When the only needs to have to worry about are your own. But I’m reviewing, my occupation I’m a manager and I’m changing from today! It doesn’t always have to be delegation I’ll stand up, be counted, no matter, come what may I’ll champion change, take principled stands Enact revolutionary and far reaching plans Put others first, do the lion’s share To show others that I really care……. But I’m really about “I” not “we” Selfishness suits me to a tee Personal sacrifice just isn’t me The very thought makes me want to flee Yes, self-awareness, that’s the key! I’m exactly how I want to be I think I’d better delegate again. I could so this job, heroically Or at the very least, stoically But despite successfully maintaining an uneasy truce I can’t hide the truth from my team that I’m not any use I’m reviewing my occupation I’m a manager of rare and specials skills It’s good for others, this delegation And assists me in my plan to break their wills. Why not continue in my present style? Menace with a serpent’s smile What was I thinking? Make a stance? I’ll bide my time and wait my chance On the career of others I will dance Trampled without a backward glance To achieve my goals, come what may Those who are currently in my way No matter what I publicly say Will all, in time, be made to pay. I think I’d better delegate again. I could do this job charmingly Not as people think, alarmingly But it’s not easy when you feel that life is passing you by All your dreams just out of reach, no matter how hard you try There’s been sacrifices, there were bound to be Always by others (I made sure it was never me) But the means were always justified by the ends And so what if I no longer have what other people call “friends” No more reviewing my occupation I’m a manger and a manger I’ll stay The best option’s always delegation There’s no task that can’t be jettisoned that way I’m a member of the chosen few I simply have no time to rue The fact I haven’t got a clue I simply have too much to do: Avoiding finding out what’s true Personal agendas to pursue Other’s people’s careers to screw While my stock options continue to accrue (I’m simply getting what I’m due) So I’ll stick where I am like glue I think I’d better delegate again. Evening I have returned from my travels Optionally sung to the tune of; "Reviewing the Situation" from the musical "Oliver!" Sinnerman
