How To Look Busy at Work

 

By Elton Camp

 

When quitting time is still an hour away

If you don’t want to work any more that day

 

There’s a neat little trick I learned long ago

That lets you goof off but nobody will know

 

Just walk around, occasionally stop and stand

Be always sure have a clipboard in your hand

 

Then rove your eyes through the office all around

Stop to write while you shake your head & frown

 

Nobody will question an activity that’s so grim

Out of fear that you may be writing about them

 

What you’re doing, even your super won’t ask

He suspects his boss is gonna take him to task

 

Remember occasionally to put a new page on top

Attempts to look over your shoulder that’ll stop

 

They all suspect that for the CEO you’re a rat

So are afraid to make you mad because of that

 

When a colleague isn’t called in, that’s a relief

And that you were working increases his belief

 

Each will think that you did an excellent job

As you didn’t report him, but some other slob
