Call us Boss

We wear our human costumes daily,
but this is who we are.
Whether happy faced or gruesome,
our ruler wears a crown.

We speak in gruff or dulcet tones,
no two of us alike,
at midnight take our costumes off
so we can have some fun.

We're all upstanding citizens
and thoughtful to a fault.
We hang signs on the boardroom door:
"Private; members only",

then gnash our teeth and lick our gums,
begin to laugh, cavort,
and joke away until the dawn
while stripping flesh from bones.

Call us fools — but every Monday
we're back to playing tricks.
We're the bosses you love to hate.
Oh, if you only knew.
