Lol. I enoyed your poem a lot. It's very reality-based, but also very humorous, and written well with excellent rhyme and metre. Sending best wishes for your clever poem with its most appropriate image.

Thanks so much, Wendy! It's scenes like these that make me avoid our staff Christmas party. There's some things you just don't need to see young teachers do. :)
-
Our staff parties were non-alcohol events, as they were on-site. But enormous good fun.
-
What a good idea! For me, restricting alcohol provides opportunities for the right kind of fun and watching your colleagues drink to excess is nothing but uncomfortable.
-
I don't know why so many feel that one only has fun if one gets sloshed. Might be an Aussie thing. I enjoy an occasional wine with dinner out, but seeing people drink themselves stupid is unpleasant. I never had any desire to lose control of my actions, words or thoughts, or to wake up knowing I'd publicly humiliated myself.
-
I absolutely agree with you. And yes, that sadly does make me a very atypical Aussie. :)

Me too!

Thank you so much, Karen! Hopefully this isn't a scene being repeated all over the world at the moment. :)

Comment from Daylily
This is so cool...reminds me of a few parties I was lucky to survive without an embarrassing mishap. The only thing I miss about the office party scene is the excitement and vigor...not to say that I am on my last leg as far as being active and helpful, but close to it. Lol
Your posting is very creative and offers some excellent rhymes. It was a funny read. Sorry I do not have a six left. Smiles, Lily

Fun and most amusing. Your rhyming is assured and unforced and thus you fit the prompt perfectly. Great story and some well-known characters. Good luck with this.

Thanks very much! This is not drawn from life, but it was fun to play with some caricatures/stereotypes. :)
Comment from Wendyanne
Lol very funny. I've never been to an office party so I can only try to imagine what goes on. I like the descriptions of the different people and I can imagine them getting up to all sorts of mischief. Good luck

Comment from Paul Manton
Well, this is worth seven stars! It is perfectly rhymed and scanned, and full of wonderful jokes. I wonder how autobiographical this may be?
I haven't been to an office party, but our end of term bash at school with 120 staff had some riotous moments. I daren't tell you the nature of the Secret Santa the Principal received, but it was hilarious (if you are broad minded!)
Three cheers for your ending - not too much religion in that party, but the 'Reason for the Season' is everything.
Thanks for the laugh!

Thank you, Paul! All born from my imagination. :)
-
Very best wishes, and good luck!
-
Now you have to tell me what the Principal received for Secret Santa. I am broad minded! :)
-
Absolutely not! But it came with a battery and made a buzzing sound!
-
I once watched my former partner give a female friend a gift for Secret Santa that was, shall we say, a chocolate replica of a gentleman's anatomy. The problem was, he hadn't anticipated that the parish priest would be present when the gift was unwrapped. :)
-
I was that priest!

Thank you for sharing your humorous Christmas poem. Yes, we have to go back to work the next day and sometimes people are always always kind or remember it correctly. Even the water cooler has a tendency to blab.
Sending you my best day as always, and my very best wishes for the upcoming vote. Sally :))
