The Office Christmas Party



if only
i could rustle up
some laughter
convolute this ghastly unease

just caught sight of myself in a mirror
i look like ingrid bergman in 'notorious'
with that lacteal pallor
grabbing onto a banister
about to convulse

dear god, dont tell me that bastard
has poisoned me to hasten my demise
or spiked my drinks

i do feel a little dizzy
could be too many vodkas
or having to dance with mitch
from the advertising dept

    Love the use of 'dance' in the management context. Well penned sarcasm.

    Vodka or having to dance with Mitch (but he seem to know every dance steps).. maybe a little bit of both.. There are good reasons for never having office parties really...
