Breakfast Feast

The Story: Our front office personnel decided to hold an unannounced team building exercise. They brought in breakfast food – cooked bacon in the common break room which put that marvelous smell drifting through the whole office – and then took everything into the front office – behind a closed glass door – but within sight of anyone in the hall – and proceeded to feast on the food. Meetings with leadership were postponed while this was going on and when they were all through, they brought what was left and put it in the common break room for anyone that wanted it – a couple of crumpled up waffles and a single piece of sausage. It upset most of the rest of the staff as they felt invited in by the aroma but driven away by the front office staff.

My Version:

The Breakfast Feast
(Or how I learned my place in the office)

They've driven a wedge in our office
They don't even know it just yet
They've divided us into the haves and haves not
And pushed our morale into debt
Just this morning a breakfast was held there
The Aroma our appetites wet
Behind the glass doors was a table
And upon it a banquet was set
They let us all watch the production
They ate till their hunger was met
Then they offered up scraps from their table
Like you would to a household pet
Yea - They've driven a wedge in our office
And they don't even know it just yet!
