Power games and who-knows-who
from hunting ground to office loo
conference room or verdant plain;
people seem to be the same.

Silly games of hide and seek
and spin the bottle, sneak-a-peak;
dress ups and character roles
—we hardly grow up at all.

In the office cute and coy
teasing the newest boy;
have a look but not too long
you know that staring is so wrong.

giggles in the ladies room,
the repartee of fashion sense
Just a little flash of tits;
Your moral centre is the pits

Around the desks the hopeful males
hoist their jibs or
trim their sails;
suck in guts and
eye the frails
—no, nothing much does change.

Hi,

Another classic! You've got it spot on!
I've been there - boy - have I been there!

It's funny how that's the same tune, no
matter where in the world you live.
Thanks for sharing it!

Be well,
