Idle Workers with Jammy Jobs

Some people have such jammy jobs, they hardly have to work,

But even then it’s likely they’ll take every chance to shirk;

Every day they come in late, and blame it on the trains,

Their problems tending to increase near every time it rains;

They come back late from lunch as well, assuming colleagues will

Have stayed the extra half an hour so they are covered still;

And then when they come back they say they need to rest again,

And settle on a sofa for five minutes, maybe ten.

They’re on the phone to friends all day, neglecting company calls,

As no-one sees just what they do within their office walls.

They tend to often call in sick, though they’re extremely fit,

Feeling good attendance is not part of their remit.

They never ever stay on late, not even a minute more,

Immediately at finish time, they’re flying out the door.
