De Jour of the Week (2/7/11)
With some changes at work I have a new boss (my ‘tech lead’). He has a pony-tail! I don’t know why men with pony-tails make me giggle, but they do. He seems like a super smart, nice guy, so that’s cool. But that didn’t stop me from writing this dumb poem.
Ode to My Pony-Tail Boss
Life comes
and life goes
But your pony-tail
ever grows
Men may mock
and women gander
All the while the pony-tail
gets ever grander
Oh!
I picture you sprinting!
Hair flying behind
in the sun glinting!
Does your intellectual prowess
from there derive?
You’ve unlocked
warp-hair-speed drive
His and her sinks
his and her closets
Both you and your wife
make pony-tail holder deposits
I wonder
when you were a boy
Did you have a rat-tail
with dreams of pony-tail joy?
When morale is low
will you say with a smile
“I’ll do pig tails to cheer you up,
“Just for a little while”
Now this poem comes to a close
my boss is looking uncomfortable
I’ve been staring at him and debating
giving his hair a pull
