The Misheard Note
Poetry on Miscommunication
Miscommunication is a fashion disaster. Michelle Liew
************************************************
His old boss wrote him a note
That said: "Wear suits --don't forget your coat."
So spick and span, sharp and neat
I turned up suited, head to feet.
************************************************
A costly coat, black shoes that shone
My cufflinks fixed, my shirt adorned
When I arrived, quite elated,
The office was party decorated
************************************************
Disco and cake, a flashy sign,
"Wear your jeans! Relaxed is fine!"
And there stood Dan, a giant apple,
And Leah in a dress with golden tassels
************************************************
The boss just grinned, he patted my arm,
"Thanks for all the schoolboy charm."
Miscommunications, quite the curse -
Lucky I didn't dress much worse!

Humorous and fun!!! Love it!!!
Oh, this is gold! From dapper to disastrously overdressed in seconds—what a plot twist! At least he brought the schoolboy charm to the party. Fashion faux pas, but make it poetic!
Haha quite clever and he is out of place. A literal take on his boss’ words.
