An Ode to Office Romances

September 1, 2006

Covers

Career woman who never got married
You think your heart is a barren wasteland
A boyfriend told you that you are frigid
And you never learned how to use your hand

But the new boss gets your motor running
Even though you like to play hard to get
His smooth talkin’ gets your body burning
When you should be filing for harassment

You end up in bed and you get pregnant
And the man insists that you get married
‘Cause his views are positively ancient
With your sexist boss you should haven’t dallied

This is the standard plot for a romance
And my early morning Harlequin rants.

    Bam, Jaimi is on the right track. Stop fucking around and get back to work!

    Before you do, I must give you kudos on the hilarious poem. I’ll be sure to wear my best slinky black slip to the office since some hot hunky boss will be making out with me over a desk…’cause that happens to every hardened businesswoman, right?

    Now, back to work, bitch!

    Love you Bam but I have major problems with your meter on that last stanza. Also married and dallied don’t exactly rhyme. It’s funny tho. : P Evangeline

    There once was a hot secretary
    With a boss she wanted to marry
    When he made an advance
    She said, “Pull down your pants
    ‘Cause your baby I’m wantin’ to carry”

    lol–Your turn, Bam. now do a haiku. Evangeline

    I’m horrible with meter. I think it’s because I have an inner ear problem. It’s also why I can’t sing.

    Here’s your haiku:
    Messy office sex
    On your slimy boss’s desk
    Stapler in your butt

    Here’s a bonus limerick

    There was once a virgin named Mary
    Whose hymen was a burden to carry
    She poked it with a stick
    And imagined it was Rick
    And promptly popped her cherry.

    Bam,
    Much prefer the haiku. Also prefer not to read this shit while trying to drink hot tea. Hot tea is now all over my keyboard which is so not good. : P Evangeline

    Little black dress on her
    Kissing boss on the desk
    [Secret] Baby on the way

    There once was a blogger named Bam
    who gave crappy covers a slam
    then she tried rhyming
    but got quite a sliming
    Go back to your snarking please, ma’am!
