Office Necessities

 

 

 

 

Last Friday of the month is for

Monthly Poetry Group to rhyme.

Diane and I take turns to pick,

"Office Supplies," the theme this time.

 

As usual, today I'll try,

a poem to write . . . or fudge.

Whether I'm successful or not,

you get to be the judge. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Office Necessities

Hubs works from the house these days,

since Covid made it so.

Goes to the office now and then,

but mostly he says "no."

And me, I just don't shop as much,

rarely go from store to store,

Get what I can at once then done,

Olympic shopper I am no more.

Went out to shop for groceries,

since we still like to eat.

Off to a big box store because,

for selection they can't be beat.

"Tell me where you're going," said Hubs.

And I told him where I'd be.

"Oh, they carry office supplies,

can you grab some there for me?' 

"Sure just tell me what you need."

Don't mind getting a few things more.

I'll shop for you and shop for me,

get everything in one store."

He answered "get whatever you see,

we're running really low.

Our home office wasn't supplied for

full time work, you know."

Home I came with bags and bags.

And Hubs looked through them all.

"I don't see any office supplies,

could you get anything at all?"

"Got them here, right in this bag,

the one you just looked through.

Necessities for any office is

exactly what I bought for you."

"Seems you and I do not agree,"

he said with great surprise.

"Pens and paper, printer ink

are my necessary office supplies.

What could I have brought him home?

I'm sure you want to ask.

Cheetos, stress ball, chocolate bars,

perfect for any task!
