“ A former shepherd once told me that sheep are only ever trying to do one of three things: "Escape, or die, or escape and then immediately die." (BBC News, 6 March)

This is my husband's life as a computer programmer. The cubilce not much bigger than a coffin. When he watched the movie, "Office Space," the shooting of the computer at the end hardly satisfied, especially since he had to endure the traumatic series of soul-crushing day-to-day merde of the characters just to get to that final cumuppance. Your poem here truly portrays the scene of modern life horror..

I love the idea of saying, "we would put a plaque on the wall if you died." It is both comforting and hilarious.
