Peace Off

You float around the office in your kimono

bidding people Namaste,

but you’re the nasty office gossip,

who always has something to say.

 

In the evenings you teach meditation

showing people how to breathe,

but the way you treat your work-mates,

it’s no wonder they all leave.

 

You practise meditation and mindfulness

teaching Yoga and Tai Chi,

but you growl and snarl at colleagues

while sipping your green tea.

 

Actually I think I’ve got it figured out,

while you aren’t quite the hippy you portray

you are a little ray of sunshine

as long you’re getting your own way.
