Not much to say and too much to do.

It's been a while since I last wrote in this blog. Part of this is due to my creation of a Birmingham City University blog to detail local events and student information.

Why not check it out...

He's a wonderful talker, who has the art of telling you nothing in a great harangue

I’m a simple worker bee
Not remarkable, nor discernable
From most the staff you see.
A child that longs to scream and shout
And throw his toys out of the pram
Because he has to listen to your tales
As you devise new hopeless plans

Or when I listen to you tell them
How you think it all should work
Even though your executive style
Simply confirms that you’re a jerk
I’d love to strip you of your right of speech
Or leave you in Nepal
I think a dose of realism
Would plainly help us all

You put the dick in contradiction
And you put the spin in spineless
You love garrulous administration
You’re a pig wallowing in waspiness

But instead I sit and wonder
How you have survived thus far
Your attitude is my melanoma
You wish your status matched your car
Driving a Porsche Cayenne twin turbo
bellow at 90 on your iPhone
Call your colleagues by their surname
I trust you’ll likely die alone

But don’t think you cause me lack of sleep
Or undue extra strain
I’d rather worry about higher issues
Like my recently blocked drain
Which is probably due to strands of hair
That collect and clog til blocked.
Maybe you would like it as you’re balding
A gift for you smug, odious cock

You put the dick in contradiction
Whilst you put the spin in spineless
Lecturing me on your power tools
Stop. I wish your voice was cordless


He's a wonderful talker, who has the art of telling you nothing in a great harangue.
