The Workplace Friend

We traversed the same road, same time

The ride not always so smooth.

One warned the other, of an oncoming ditch

And managed to save many a glitch.

But we had to bid goodbye-

It was only a trip, my workplace friend!

 

We shared the latest news

Analysed all possible views

A shared background in the past-

But here, camaraderie did not last.

We had to disagree in the end.

It was only a perspective, my friend!

 

We are judged by the company we keep

Elite club memberships do matter.

Image counts more so does my boss

He did not like our chatter-

We ratted out on each other.

It was boss management, my friend!

 

You asked questions, I answered

Sharing my blues, the grapevine too-

It was so easy to nail and frame

To earn some points and lucrative glue.

The soil was not conducive to growth

It needed trust and loyalty, my friend!
