The Man Who Let It All Go
To forget a woman.
Overdid it!
Starts looking like a bum at work.
Step from homeless!--no kidding.
How to straighten him out?
Steered him to Religion.
Scoffed he!
More secular and non-hick counseling
at the university? Just sneeringly argued
with everyone in the group!
Self-Help articles with blatant headlines
via the net from his friends?
He can’t stop laughing!
At the last termination interview at
our mutual--and meticulously cautious--
corporation, he suddenly discovers
“I truly truly literally STINK!”
Hardly intellectual.
Olfactory, rather.
He took off the next day to scrub himself,
actually iron his clothes!
At the meeting then to fire him, he’s
all quite immaculate charm!
all quite immaculate charm!
And, since big outfits will chose the solution of less publicity, and thus scanter Big-Shot-Attention, ordered to quietly get back to work.
And never ever again to darken any important doorway!
Really lucky to toil where nobody
gives a shit about you, yes?
