Meet The Elephant

I know you’ve been there.

It’s like a silent BOOM.

When everyone sees it,

The elephant in the room.

 

Nobody has the courage,

Afraid to bring it up,

But, the Boss has his shirt,

On inside out!

 

Everyone’s in the meeting.

Keep our eyes on him.

As he gets up to talk,

Turns around, meeting begins.

 

It’s hard to stay focused,

On the discussion at hand.

When staring right at you,

His shirt tag with name brand.

 

Start thinking for a moment,

Is this a new style?

I really don’t think so,

Shouldn’t we tell the guy?

 

What if it was you?

Put yourself in his shoes.

No keep it to yourself.

Don’t panic, keep cool.

 

I remember in the day,

Girl’s slip showed below skirt.

We’d say, “It’s snowing down South.”

She’d get the meaning of the words.

 

Well, the meeting’s just over.

We give each the side eye.

Try to hold back the smiles,

As we quickly walk by.

 

But, I went to his boss,

And told him the story,

He smiled back and laughed,

At least the meeting wasn’t boring.
