OFFICE LIMBO

OFFICE LIMBO

A Poem by Terry Collett
"

WHAT CAN HAPPEN AT THE OFFICE ON A DULL FRIDAY AFTERNOON

"

I wasn't able
to compete
in the office limbo
competition today,

maybe next time.  
There were a few
of us around,
Friday afternoon,

unsupervised
we thought
we'd make
the most of it

before we're
relocated
to the dark side
& have to behave

like real
office employees.
Ivan brought
a couple of limbo sets,

with two vertical poles
on stands
that have
little markers

for when you lower
the horizontal pole.
At first it was just Ivan,
Harry & George,

who were surprisingly
limber & then
young Lenny
(more flexible

than a slinky)
came in
& blew
the competition away.

Written by my late son Oliver Collett.(1984-2014)
