I’ll Show You Enthusiasm (Rev) 6.26.2008
There is a new karaoke machine on the market,
you carry it with you and sing wherever you are,
I begged my colleagues to give one to me
should they ever plan gifts
June warned me not to bring one to Kingsley
where we shall be moving shortly; I saw vistas
of possibilities, terrorizing all with my singing –
even worse than before
I could be a person whose retirement will be in
the interest of the state due to deterioration of
work performance, not due to her own fault;
the state will be better off without me
An official who is “burning” with too much
motivation, unable to concentrate or focus
on work – that will be me; I’m burning
already, give me the karaoke machine
I’ll show you what enthusiasm sounds like,
everybody is already afraid when they hear
my maniacal laughter, old Nic is scared when
I get up, hubby says I’m unbalanced
The karaoke machine is my key to freedom!
