The Temp in Accounting
His prospects of affluence seem to be shrinking
in direct proportion to what he’s been drinking.
Lately it seems that the hours he’s been working
are less than the hours that he has been shirking
his tasks of the day. When we look at his history,
I must admit it’s a bit of a mystery
why they’ve retained him for even this long,
for he’s more attached to his lighter and bong
than he is to his actuarial tables.
His financial projections? Primarily fables.
In short, his behavior is simply pubescent
and prospects of tenure likely evanescent.
When the boss went to find this latest young bloke,
he found he’d stepped out for his hourly toke.
All in all, I think I’m not amiss in projecting
he’ll be more temporary than he was expecting.
Prompts today are evanescent, history, prospect, affluent and working.

Interesting how youth expands the view of possibilities! So many kids graduate with an inflated idea of what they can earn in their first job, and are so sorely disappointed! I love this expression of that idea.

Unless they go into computer programming. Salaries are amazing even for entry level jobs.

And I wonder how long that will last — good programmers are becoming more common these days, and the salaries may start to reflect that soon.

Employer simply fires him, and no big loss. Poor guy who hasn’t had proper upbringing to teach him work ethics.

Don’t know about that, but I tend to see a child with special needs in every malfunctioning adult.
