You know it's true...


Smiling and back patting, saying ‘How very succesful you've become,’
Put money in the collection, sign the card, the rite of passage must be done,
Ask about the new salary, position, status and company car,
Tell them they deserve it, worked so hard, you’re sure they will go far,
The final day, the drinks and nibbles, the goodbye hugs and tears,
You can hardly bear their enthusiasm, their luck with their career,
‘I’ll miss you, we’ll keep in touch’ you know you won’t, it must be noted,
Don’t you so hate it when your colleagues get promoted?
