Often I Struggle at Work

Often, I struggle at work
Because the people treat me bad -
Even though I'm not a jerk,
I feel mistreated and sad.
I make a dent in the daily grind;
For that, there is some common sense.
But there's sense one cannot find,
Enough to make a professional wince...

I find enough care to be
The helpful one around the place,
But my job is based on mediocrity,
Some common sense can make that case...
I come across as really smart,
But my job is kind of dumb -
So I continue to play my part;
Without pride, I feel so glum!

Nature is filled with birds and bees,
Lions, frogs and ants;
Common sense is what everyone sees,
And why each person rants.
For you can only make a living
If you put away some pride;
Feel free to keep on giving -
The company's on your side!
