Little Boris, a Spry Leader
A poem about a man in a dead end job...
Rated:

This item requires reviews with ratings.
Once upon a time, there lived
A man named Little Boris,
Who studied hard and finished school
With all its brutal courses.
He earned a coveted business degree,
And with this education,
Received a fairly high-paying job,
Work of modest station.

But soon our Little Boris became
Weary and ungrateful,
His work involved pushing paper,
A modest life so stable…
He had to be productive,
Without deviations or care;
A role requiring little smarts,
Other than being there!!!

Then one evening, Little Boris,
Filled with hate and blahs,
Stumbled upon a classic film
Entitled The Wizard of Oz.
The moral of this movie was,
These guys wished upon a star,
For qualities and places to be,
But didn’t have to look that far…

After seeing this hollywood gem,
Boris became a leader;
He no longer yearned for a job
More challenging and meatier!
Being who he is now
Makes Little Boris so spry –
A leader of consistency,
And a rare and cherished guy!!!
