This is a true story in rhyme, it happened last year when one member of staff was trying to plan the usual deprtment Christmas do. I've left the boss's name off cos' he didn't see the funny side of the remark. Pah Humbug!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Johnny looked at the year planner.

This time of year it was his manner.

“A team night out should be heaven”,

Said Johnny suggesting December eleven.

He said it should be just right,

Asking “are you listening Mr Wainwright?

This time there should be no reason.

To miss the do at the yuletide season.

Trev said “go and dream

I’m not a member of the team”.

The boss thought this wasn’t fair

And so rose angrily from his chair.

And woith a look on his face so sour.

Said in a manner so dour.

“You are a member of team CFS”

Trev said” that’s right yes”

“But with the rights I have got,

Of the social team I’m not

Then Trev left the room,

The boss felt a feeling of gloom.

He had tried but all in vain,

All he'd done was lose again.

Standing there looking blank,

Unable to hide behind his rank.

As Johnny laughed saying “well I never”

“I think that’s one nil to Trevor”.
