As read at the Red Shed, Wakefield: 04.06.09 (Contains swearing)

Down the glen came the Management Men
Like the Bengal Lancers
They thought they were clever men.
Others thought them a bunch of chancers.

Wondering if they were looking for a pot,
The special pot that was missin',
Cos' there'd be joy when it was found,
And they could all gather round,
The pot that they all piss in.

Cos' there's many a tosspot
Who think they're a bigshot
When they can hide behind their rank.
Many an arrogannt shit thinks they're it.
But in truthe aren't worth a wank.

For one day they will find
They have no rank to hid behind
And those who once thought they were it.
Will find what they were, does not mean shit.

Hi Trevor,

I have never been sure what "managers" do - except make others lives miserable. It has long been my view that this country is overburdened with them, and that given the opportunity, workers can manage theirselves quite efficiently. They produce nothing, interfere in everything and their sole objective seems to be justfying their own existence. This malaise seems to percolate from the political, through the corporate and right down to the shop floor. Yet who manages the managers? It's a very dirty word in my dictionary . . .
Regards,
A.E.

I like this one too. It has some truth yet with humour. I can identify with a few people like this unfortunately.
