Symbiotic Relationship

My friend, M&M is hilarious. We have a great deal of fun e-mailing each other when we should be working. He brings so much entertainment into what is my otherwise drab existence. He says I do the same for him. I’m so glad it’s a symbiotic relationship. The other day we got talking about toes…lord knows how. I told him I had 12 and they were painted pink. He wrote me this poem full of inside jokes…

This little piggy went to the Mall.
This little piggy should have stayed home.
This little piggy had Anchor Steam.
This little piggy had none.
This little piggy was painted pink.
This little piggy lived in a box.
This little piggy waited for cabana boy.
This little piggy had no boy toy.
This Little piggy went to see Genesis.
This Little Piggy buys a lot of concert tickets.
This Little Piggy Can't Spell.
And... This Little Piggy is surely going wee wee wee all the way to hell.


Last week, he wrote me this song. The names have been changed to protect the guilty.

Sung to Eleanor Rigby by The Beatles.

New lyrics by anonymous.

Ah, look at all the B&D people
Ah, look at all the B&D people

George Jadman picks up some tickets from ebay where a concert has been
Lives in a dream

Waits by the mailbox, wearing a face from Guinness he keeps on a shirt
His wallet hurts

All the B&D people
Where do they all come from?
All the B&D people
Where do they all belong?

Here is Dan Castle writing the words to a manual that no one will read
Only Joseph will need.

Look at him sleeping. Up on his screen blinks solitaire. What does he care?

All the B&D people
Where do they all come from?
All the B&D people
Where do they all belong?

See Kathy Lastner banging out e-mails in search of a bud
She badly needs love

Fills up the bar room Friday and David likes to be there
Wanting more hair

All the B&D people
Where do they all come from?
All the B&D people
Where do they all belong?


Today when I told him that I had over 50 emails to deal with today, he told me he was sure there was a song in there somewhere. I suggested he use Paul Simon as inspiration and just stick with 50. Within 3 minutes this reply came…

He’s dubbed me the Queen (for no apparent reason). So I’ve dubbed him my court jester – for apparent reasons. Work is far more entertaining with him around.
