Almost lost my job,

Nothing I could do but sob,

Was my own fault,

Would have had to get a job,

Serving at the local counter a malt…

I did not call out for three days,

I was sick so I thought they would understand my ways,

But a no call/no show brought about problems they did say,

Its in the handbook, you should’ve known, of the company & their ways…

So I talked to the HR lady,

She was nice but firm,

Fortunately she did keep me employed,

If I were her, I would have called me a worm…
