Job Perks

Furtive, I would slip away any poor excuse would do, make my way across the lawn into building twenty-two Secretive and circuitous I took an odd and winding route... While bustling they had no time to wonder what I was about Far removed from fluorescent gleam conveyor belts and machinery- a soft-lit, silent posh retreat damask-lined walls with greenery Oddly placed within the building inconvenient (so they said) a glorious refuge for an introvert a quiet space to clear my head Oh, the job had the usual “benefits” health, vision, and 401K and that was all just fine and dandy great and A-okay... We even had our own mini fridge to store our food as bitter drama had ensued over brown-bag bandits (in days past) We even had our very own stereo to blast And the HR lady gave me the run-down my first day all the benefits and perks but I must say... she left one out- No doubt, the loveliest perk of all was that elegant public restroom in PR, (so fancy without stalls) hands-down the very best job “benefit” of all! ___ Memories of my old job... where, evidently, a fancy restroom was the highlight of my career! ;D
