Attention! This is the last time I am going to ask nicely, If you don't have a key, you are not authorized to enter. If you don't know how, ask for help. Clean up your own mess. Beyond this point eating and drinking are not allowed. Wash your hands. Close the door or you WILL BE subject to disciplinary action. Do not put your hand in the jaws or you WILL BE terminated. In summary: Caution! Stand Clear! Look Out! Exit here. |

My boss is fond of writing little signs everywhere threatening our jobs at every turn. I combined his actual words with a few generic safety ones at the end.
I enjoy adding a heart before his name, so these signs don't last long. I wish he would add, anyone caught defacing my signs will be terminated! That would make my day.  So Dom, I dedicate this found poem to you!  This is for  and a Found Poetry Workshop - give it a try!  Comments

I work in a packaging plant, and I was the first one to almost lose my thumb in those dang jaws, a month later another co-worker lost the tip of his finger and a year later a close friend cut her thumb open, too. We had a bunch of new openings on our line, and everyone who wanted to move into the position was scared to death of those jaws!

Mocking Dom is a real fun sport.

Finding beauty in the dissonance.. -Tool *VampireWriters *PoetryPlease *Writers-Workshop ~pakdeviants *ScribeSanctuary  This is just so wonderful. It really made me laugh! I like your source material for this found poem--notes from your boss--it's a very creative idea. Sounds like someone I used to work for...
-- it's spring when the world is puddle-wonderful I had a lot of fun checking out all of the signs that he uses to attempt intimidation. I am pretty sure that he would be upset about me writing into something humorous! Bonus!
