A Ploy Heaven-Sent Poem by Margaret Alice

In honour of McGonagall –

I wish someone would glare on me with love-beaming eyes today,
I’m afraid only my supervisor might glare on me with lightning eyes
when I try to store my work electronically – not being sure how this
process works

This morning when I quickly donned on my clothes, I never suspected
how bad this day would be, the air-conditioning is not functioning,
the heat is killing in Kingsley, therefore to leave the building I am bent,
this might be a ploy heaven-sent, the government officials to annoy -

The electricians disrespect everybody and I’m sad to have to confess,
from management we get no redress; therefore I shall take my leave
early today…


[NB: From a Phantom-Phan, Pyramidiot, Fortrean and McGonagallist.]
