The Joker of the John

Practical jokes can "backfire" on the trickster.

The Joker of the John

 

By Elton Camp

 

 

When the dispenser gets empty, all will fume

But won’t put paper in the executive restroom

 

To put on a new roll is just way too undignified

And it would become the job of anyone spied

 

But Robert simply loves a good practical joke

Thought of one that with glee made him choke

 

With a roll of duct tape and a felt marker pen

He played a very funny joke on the office’s men

 

And this is what Robert then proceeded to do

Left duct tape & note, “How desperate are you?”

 

But the company president went in for a dump

And then angrily on the toilet door did thump

 

“Whoever’s the one who pulled this stupid trick

If I learn his name, he’s going to get fired quick!”

 

Robert kept his eyes glued to his computer screen

And he surely did hope that he hadn’t been seen
