I Eat My Peas With Honey
And tales of derring-do.
Four lines, they can be rhyming
(That's Glow Worms to me and you).
Ending line is as usual.

irach
Are the same as Summmer's and Fall's
cfm
The Susies and Jennies and Nancies
Software
Will just kick him in the balls
... coat! ..
penelope
At weekends I like lazing
Raak
With tea and chocolate biccs
Software
Just sitting in my armchair
Phil
In a bra and lacy knicks
Least said, soonest mended
Chalky
... mended. [Made me chuckle, mind]
Chalky - I'd love to take a holiday
Phil
To Margate I shall go
penelope
With thermal vest and woolly socks
Chalky
And bucketloads of dough
... sorry - greedy greedy me taking another line
Kim
Returning to the office,
Chalky
He found his desk had gone
Phil
"The second time this week!" he thought
Raak
"Just what is going on?"
CdM
He went to see the Bureau Chief
Kim
Demanding explanation
cfm
Insisting that he catch the thief
Phil
Or tend his resignation.
CdM
The Bureau Chief was unimpressed
ImNotJohn
And quickly sent him packing
Chalky
The office cleaner then confessed
penelope
She'd sent the desk for stacking
Kim
The cleaner hadn't realised
Chalky
That desks were custom-built
CdM
Stacking, it could be surmised
cfm
Produced an ominous tilt
Phil
The Chief sought out this listing stack
Chalky
And made a bold decision
Software
Even though he knew his staff
cfm
Would meet it with derision
CdM
"We'll make a matching stack of chairs
Phil
Just there, beside the door
penelope
And when the workforce grows in size
Raak
They'll sit upon the floor."
Chalky
*is almost afraid to add to the 6 stanzas above which appear to have auto[Raak]-completed with stark yet exquisite simplicity*
And as no-one else has waded in - shall we leave it as it is?
cfm
They'll all join hands and sing a song
Phil
Of how, in days gone by,
penelope
The desks were stacked, quite out of reach
ImNotJohn
And we'll all wonder why....
Kim
But suddenly the bottom desk
Software
Slipped right out of line
Phil
The bureau chief was heard to shout,
Chalky
"Stand back - that one is mine!"
Kim
And then, with a tremendous crash
CdM
(Preceded by a rumbling)
Software
The pile of office fur-nit-ure
Chalky
On
his
head came a-tumbling.
- oops
CdM
The moral of our sorry tale
Phil
Will soon become quite clear
irach
For stacking wobbly desks is fraught
cfm
With risk to one's career.
Phil
Thank God! The chief was only bruised
Chalky
And bounced back with panache
Software
He said "I'll sack the silly fool"
cfm
And sneered 'neath his moustache.
Phil
So what would be the cleaner's fate?
Rosie
Would she just lose her rag?
Software
No, this char is far too cool
Chalky
And sneaks out for a fag.
CdM
But when she steps outside the door
Software
The nasty boss is waiting
Phil
"How dare you stack those desks", he booms
Chalky
With tone harsh and berating
Rosie
The tangled heap of fallen desks
Phil
Lies just inside the door
Software
The cleaner is defiant
irach
She won't take it any more
Software
"You can stick your desks," the cleaner cries
Rosie
"Somewhere the sun don't shine"
CdM
"Like in the basement storage room"
penelope
"Where I must work from mine!"
echoes of 'Office Space' here. I expect the next verse will be about TPS reports. Mmm-yeh.
CdM
The moral of our sorry tale
