An Ode to my Job

This is an ode to a place called my job. That crazy place that holds my paycheck so I won’t be a slob.

This is an ode to my job. Many think to have one is average, but having a job is what keeps you from living savage.

This is an ode to my job. It doesn’t matter how many of my fellow employees are jerks as long as we all have a place to work.

This is an ode to my job. You think it’s ordinary to be that constructive, but really it’s a saving grace that disables the need to be destructive.

This is an ode to my job. Many think that my job is an awful place, but I am incredibly thankful for that office space.
