PITY ME

When I take a long time,
I am slow.
When my boss takes a long time,
He is thorough.

When I fail to do a job,
I am lazy.
When my boss does not do it,
He is too busy.

When I do something without being told,
I am trying to be smart.
When my boss does the same,
He shows initiative.

When I please my boss,
I have an 'axe to grind'.
When my boss pleases his boss,
He is cooperating.

When I do well,
My boss never remembers.
When I faulter,
He never forgets.
