PAGES FLIPPED (Poetry)

Haaa…Here I planted my base on the seat
It’s been a while, in fact the first since mornings nature sit.
A pungent smell pinched my nostril
Panned across to search for the citizen responsible.
Little did I realize I was the owner of those feet
Which could even spoil the moment of an Oscar winner’s feat
Far beside on a table were a bunch of papers and magazine
All stacked up for the officers who spent time gazing and looking.
Luckily, I found there none of those literate servants or anyone
Took a breath, put my chest out to imagine myself to be one.
Politics, Sports, Playboy all seemed to be the offerings of education.
I happily picked the playboy magazine, at least didn’t want to pretend in imagination.
The playboy magazine, which I flipped through
Looking for something, which in my wife was very few.
In fact, there were clothes so little
Just like my bosses who argued for the futile.
A glam-doll sipping some blue-colored drink was seen.
I could have served her that instead of serving these disgruntled humans tea.
A model posed with her right leg on a chair.
So I dreamt, why wasn’t I born that chair.
There was an ad which showed men queued up behind this hottie.
I wonder if this inspired my big boss to hire women of such quality.
Pages flipped and the model changed clothes.
Loving those animalistic poses amidst this corporate-jungle was a super dose.
The jaw dropping sleazy models tried mesmerizing blokes for some Show
Ow my god! Have to check on my sons TV habits when I reach back abode.
Soon some noise disturbed my thought flow.
It seemed someone been shouting at me at the top of their throat.
Turned sideways and contemplated Oh no not again!
The literate servant has some work ready for the illiterate slave.

(This is what i see everyday...imagined what would run through a office-boys mind, as he toils hard day and night without much appreciation from the hierarchy...so the poem is all about that one moment which he uses to free and unwind himself amidst the severe and rigid corporate world.)
