Dear Mr. Boss Sir

Thank you for your thank you note.
Thank you.  We all learned a lot.
After the meeting, Joe asked if I thought
you knew about the dribbly stain
everyone saw when you reviewed
efficiency gains on the whiteboard.
He said it looked like a silhouette
of a rabbit eating a potato.
That Joe!  He said, if you knew,
maybe you’d trade in your fancy tie-clip
for some good organic diapers,
the kind that decompose quickly
in the sun with very little help,
in dumps all across this great country.
