Incantations

She's lost in the blackness of deep space

Bring her back to the light

 

 

 

 

Issues

Venereal is mad at me

Gets to me

Chlamydia wants to be with me

Sad on anal tear

Live with syphilis disease

 

 

 

 

All The Best

And so Amy was mad at her ex

He joined her on lunch as we all know

She said she wants time alone

And said what she said before

That what she realizes now

Is their time together took her away

From her father and family

He said I told you this before

What is done cannot be undone

You agreed to see me

And spend time together

As you were in love with me

We both know that but now

It’s like me saying I miss my mum

Due to my choice to go abroad

Also time with my mates

Was time away from her

And I regret that now

And want to change it

It isn’t possible for it’s all done

I respect your choice to keep away

Tho I thought we was friends

I was wrong and you

Treated me very badly

Not replying to my msgs txts or calls

Some of the blame is on me

But not all of it

Friends we are not

Time to move on

All the best…

 


 

 

 

Fusions

And so the ex Marine died

Semper fi and all that

A legend in Valhalla

This guy was larger than life

With a loud big bike

A loud voice

A loud presence

Weighing close to 300 pounds

Ex body builder

With some tall stories

He was in the first Persian Gulf War

He told me of his friends

Not just the military ones

He was in a car crash at 90

Going thru the windscreen

How they rebuilt his face

So many stories all memorable

How he spoke Spanish and English

Able to go from one to the other

Rip my mate see you on the other side

 

 

 

Out Date

Make the choice leave the job

As you work with your ex

A real piece of work

 

What did you ever see in her?

Be glad to get out of there

Just like a jail

 

She's always there somewhere

Hiding outside or in the canteen

Doing what she does

 

Being simply herself

The self that did this to you

Keep applying for jobs

 

Sooner than later you'll get one

Stick with it and quit

No rendering a month

 

So what if you part badly

Just like you and your ex

A time served purpose

 

Like the job

Now out of date

Riga Microwave!

 

 


Riga Microwave!

It was the same shit different day. Riga was stressed again. Tech support was hard. The reps were not physically there with the problem equipment. They had to ask questions and go off the caller's answers. Some callers were tech blind. They had issues describing the issue details! Today Riga wasn’t in the mood. It was call after call of TVs not turning on or dog chewed remotes or a VCR with a jammed tape. Riga had to be nice and polite to the callers. She didn’t want any DSATs. It hit her metrics and bonus pay out. One caller really annoyed Riga. Emily called in about her microwave oven. It sparked violently when she put a metal bowl in with a spoon. Why was this? Chinese made piece of junk! I want to reheat my porridge, it makes a buzzing noise smells of burning and sparks badly. Why is this? Come and fix it for me. Riga muted the call sighed and swore under her breath. Go over there and fix it? She was eight thousand miles away in Thailand! She composed herself and advised the caller to put the porridge in a plastic microwave safe bowl with no metal objects. Then there would be no issue. The caller argued and said her metal bowl was fine for the oven. Riga advised this is a microwave oven. Ma'am, both are different types of ovens. Metal bowls are no good for a microwave. It says this in the user's manual. Please be mindful of this. When you use a plastic microwave safe bowl there will be no issues. The caller went mad and called Riga stupid told her to fuck off and hung up the call. Riga sent TL Frisha a Teams message. TL replied and consoled Riga. It was all part of the job. Onto the next call. Poor little Riga.
