The “Big Gun” or the “One in Charge”
That into office they will barge
And order you around all day
And yell when they don’t get their way
The overseer, dominator
Sometimes called “The Terminator”
Someone whom you have to please
That secretly you call “Big Cheese”
Well, that’s the kind of boss you hate
Who at a whim will terminate
At drop of hat, leave you a husk
No, this ain’t ode to Elon Musk!
This is about the opposite
A person that won’t make you quit
But rather eases lines you tow
Whose traits will foster one to grow
That wants to see all good team work
Be the thing that makes dream work!
But now’s enough with platitudes
It’s really about attitude
I challenge cynics and the doubters
To rise above the bad encounters
To find a boss, no hesitation
Did lead you out of situation
With guidance and a tempered mood
That gave you praise when you did good
That knows that work’s no daily test
But rather where, to do your best
They lead with just right balance of
A firm hand in a velvet glove
That’s the boss we’d like to see
And given chance, I hope you’ll be!
