“Happy Birthday”
January 21, 2011
The idiot in my office expects me to sing,
and when I abstain, we all get a memo.
In it, I am referred to as nonparticipant
and there is a polite suggestion
that nonparticipants excuse themselves
instead of triggering the fire alarm.

Fantastic! I laughed out loud and surprised myself, and this was just at the second line! It’s dead-pan nature had me rumbling all the way to its swift conclusion! And yet, great writing, lovely pace, and the words selected are used just so. I read it again.
BRAVO!
brilliant, smiles.
