Office Meeting Haiku

15 January 2007


Boss says 'touching base'
I snicker just too loudly.
No pay rise this year.

Into the third hour.
Biscuit consumption so far;
twelve bourbon, eight nice.

I talk of cash flow
but dream of skinny dipping.
Surreptitiously.

Now with added next day conference call torment cinqku!

Forgot
the button
marked privacy;
my muttered cursing quite
distinct.

I have never really had a boss.

There are days when I would quite like to have one.

It must be quite nice to think you are wasting someone else's time.

My dreaded piece
of office meeting jargon
used a whole haiku.

(Ahem)

Three hundred and six-
-ty degree commiss-
-ioning process. See?

No! I refuse to
'think out of the box'! I would
rather hide in one.

(It's no good. I'm going to have to be pretentious and resort to the lesser-used tanka form. Haithenkyew.)

The Powerpoint talks
Of three hundred and sixty
degree commissions.
I turn in a complete circle
and fall off my chair, laughing.

I love stop to read
A post as simply clever
As this. You genius.

Freelance

next meeting cancelled
with fuckall forewarning
you die

there's way too much work
for a budget derisory
call me Ishmael

the client ressembles
an Oompa-Loompa
help!

I can do what I want
and you'll pay me how much?
coronary

Just pay my damn invoice
I don't care if the dog ate
your accountant
