I’m sorry that I didn’t
Read that report you wrote
In terms of how to spend last night
It didn’t get my vote
I had a pleasant evening
Went to the pub instead
Returned home rather drunk
And collapsed upon my bed
When I awoke this morning
I was already late
So there really wasn’t time
To read your long mandate
I’m sorry that this meeting
Might seem a waste of time
But am I really guilty
Of such a heinous crime?
I know I should have read it
That’s what you pay me for
But when it comes to writing
You really are a bore
I’d rather face the music
Than have to read that dross
Life is far too short
To always please my boss
But you don’t seem that angry
I don’t think that you can tell
I’ll just smile and keep on nodding
And I think all will be well

Maybe if all reports were written as poems, limericks or haikus they’d be more fun to read?

It would certainly take the edge off…

As one who often wings such things – and with a talent for management speak when required – I feel your pain. As one who also has to write such things – staying up to midnight to do one, a mere few hours before the meeting it was for, because I couldn’t face it writing the damned thing — I felt pain when the meeting was dismissed when we were two thirds through my eloquence.

I do – both the UK original and the brilliant US version.

We only get the US version but I’ve heard the UK one is better. I’m addicted to the US one. I’m watching it online, marathon style.

UK one is different. Both are excellent in their own way.
