The Boss Comes to Dinner

We tried to make a good impression.

The Boss Comes to Dinner

 

By Elton Camp

 

It was for the very first time in my life

We asked to dinner the boss and his wife

Company’s sales and profits were down

And talk of layoffs had been going around

 

So we thought it’d be a good idea to hurry

And favor with the boss try hard to curry

The two showed up a little before eight

We made sure that dinner wouldn’t be late

 

The house was shining, so spick and span

To impress him, we had done all we can

Our little son Joey came out into sight

To meet the boss and to say “Goodnight”

 

“Sir, my Dad talks about you a whole lot.

He tells about how you are such a big shot.

If  there’s time, to see you do it, I do wish.

My Father says that you drink like a fish.”
