I Love My Job!

Also known as The “Lost” Dr. Seuss Poem……

I love my job, I love the pay!
I love it more and more each day.
I love my boss, he is the best!
I love his boss and all the rest.

I love my office and its location,
I hate to have to go on vacation.
I love my furniture, drab and grey,
And piles of paper that grow each day!

I think my job is really swell,
There’s nothing else I love so well.
I love to work among my peers,
I love their leers, and jeers, and sneers.

I love my computer and its software;
I hug it often though it won’t care.
I love each program and every file.
I’d love them more if they worked a while.

I’m happy to be here, I am. I am.
I’m the happiest slave of the Firm, I am.
I love this work, I love these chores.
I love the meetings with deadly bores.

I love my job — I’ll say it again.
I even love those friendly men.
Those friendly men who’ve come today,
In clean white coats to take me away!!!

    I firmly believe on the notion that “if you found a job you love and enjoy – then you’ll never work at all”. I can relate to that, hehe….

  9. BlogusVox Says:

    I love what I’m doing,
    But I hate my boss,
    His stupid and boring.

    I’m proud of the contribution I gave,
    While others thought I am naive,
    Because they think we’re all but slaves.

    wow, I hope my sister would sing that song very often. Since PM started to work, she gets so very tired and sickly, well having her workaholic attitude it doesn’t seem to be a big surprise. Though by the time I go home this weekend, I hope she’s getting the hang of it.
