The women at work

don’t appreciate my blossoming confidence

It doesn’t fit

with my station or position

they keep trying to dominate me

with their demands

with their smiley faces

at the end of emails.

If I don’t do what they want

it turns upside down,

into a frown.

They think I’m afraid of them

There is a new teacher I don’t like

The teachers love him

He wears a baseball hat

He’s a loveable fool.
