RIVER FLOWS WFW

WORDS FOR WEDNESDAY are provided by River DRIFTING THROUGH LIFE this month.  We were given two sets for words to choose from and one short phrase.  I picked the first set of words and one phrase.  Good selections River! 

Be sure and read the other stories and poems, etc. written for this week either on the writer's blog or posted on River's or Elephant Child's .

Copious

Executive

Remember

Question

Undrinkable

Optimum

and

‘but it was never enough’

The Boss by Granny Annie

Finally she was the newly

Appointed executive.

Copious amounts of advice

Caused her to become reflective.

Now all she could remember

Were the times before stress

Causing her to constantly

Hope and pray for less.

Why did she invite each

Subordinate for a suggestion?

Looking at one idea

Simply raised another question.

Some expected her to

Repair problems unthinkable.

How could she fix water

That was totally undrinkable?

This optimum job position

Had only made her extremely tired.

She looked around the group

And said. “you are all fired”.

Reaching that glass ceiling

Had been extremely tough.

She wanted to have her way

'but it was never enough'
