In on the Out Tray
written for Alien's Poetry Challenge #7- Inverted Sonnet
“Have you filed that report yet?
I need it by the end of the day.”
Halve the workload that you’ve got
By putting the bin beside your in-tray.
So I ignored your administrative
request for me to once more push pen;
Know that I’m ever frustrated,
stressed out from work yet again.
Meetings have not been minuted,
supply contracts have not been signed off,
cheating my way through the daily bread,
my desk is just a slopping trough.
Yes, it’s obvious I’m demotivated,
Best call it stress and get compensated.

| I love this mostly because my desk often ends up that way. Beautifully done, nice slant and regular rhyme too. Jewel |

| It takes real talent to pull this off. The cadence was excellent for rhymed poetry. As far as I see, there are no forced lines, and it is as smooth as a baby's...cheek. Love it! |
