They told me the job was easy, the told me my days would be free
but the fact that it would take me eons to complete was the fact they kept from me.
They asked if I was serious, they inquired if I was trustworthy, hard working and able to work alone.
They forgot to tell me my eyes would be completely boggled every morning when I got home.
They gave me a computer a pad and pen
and they threw in broadband but after that I did not hear from them again!
Their medical division offered me some dark glasses but I think that was a joke.
The scientific section got me a telescope. I was all excited with this job and so full of hope.
They showed me my work station it was in a field
they bought me in a ergonomic chair across the grass it wheeled.
I was allowed two tea breaks and a 30 minute lunch
but definitely no coffee at my desk, and they threw in some coloured bands so I could keep my pens all in a bunch.
They gave me an umbrella in case there should be rain
and a little woolly hat just to protect my brain.
So now I was ready excited and inspired
I was determined to make them glad that it was me they had hired.
Now I hear your brain ticking I know what you want to know
what is it that my job is and why does it please me so.
I have to count the stars all of them up in the skies.
Which means I shall be busy every night with stars before my eyes!

Yes you can look at this poem in too ways the way you have as in people being bullied and over stretched, or in the comical and silly way to take it at face value 🙂 xx
