Shop on the corner
This poem is dedicated to all who sincerely hate their job and their boss. Who wants to break out of the cage and find freedom, real freedom, and not change one golden cage for another. It’s hard, but it’s worth it, I know it!
Busy at work again.
And the boss yelled at me again.
I plowed like a slave for him all year.
And he squeezed my award again.
I’m going home to get some rest.
And under the box I’ll try to sleep.
But the news said
That we raised the retirement age.
Damn, it’s not my destiny to sleep tonight.
Maybe splash some water.
Tomorrow I’m going to barbecue with my family.
I will finally have a heart to heart talk with my wife.
She always supports and understands me.
But then she openly declares to me.
Your boss is changing the fifth wheelbarrow.
And your seed only dreams of the sea.
You have long wanted to open your own business.
Come on, be brave, you should be cheered up.
Tomorrow I’ll write a letter of resignation.
And I wander in the face of the boss - redneck.
I’ll take the money in the bank for a dream.
And, finally, I will open my own shop on the corner.
