Stepping into the boardroom meeting,
Stepped out of character too.
Put a red slipper on one foot,
On the other, a bright blue shoe.
Stress at work was at a peak.
I could hardly contain my grin,
At the shock on each and every face
The moment their boss walked in.
Eyes moved slowly from my feet
To capture my innocent stare.
Each one of them convinced I think,
I was totally unaware.
Unable to contain myself.
My laughter bubbled free.
At my release, they followed suit
Relief conjoined with glee.
Our memorable meeting followed with
Coffee and doughnuts for the staff.
Office policy now includes
Time every day to laugh!
