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.

Thanks Kat. It was funny when this happened. I guess he has done this in the past. I am thinking he gets dressed in the dark 🙂 Thanks for the comment.
Haha
I know. Truth is funnier than fiction! Thanks for the comment. 🙂
Thanks HONEY great story ~ great poem ~ Pachyderm in the Parlour ! I worked with a guy who wore his shirt "back to front" with the tie hanging down the back ! MOOR EHT NI TNAHPELE ! Thanks for sharing ~ great poem ~ replete with rhyme & rhythm ~ BRIAN
Thanks Dear Brian. We should have a "Backward Day" and try to write end to beginning haha. 🙂
Thanks HONEY ~ I have written REVERSE POEMS where the words in the poem read ~ OK ~ forwards and backwards ! Yours as ever BRIAN
I went to get x-rays a few weeks ago and wore a new undershirt to match the shirt I wore. After a test shot the tech came out and asked me to check my pockets and shirt. The tags on the undershirt were still there. How I did not feel or see them I did not know. Nice office humor story. I think it's best to tell the person. Ladies sometimes walk out the restroom with toilet paper hanging out the back of their dress. It is embarrassing for me as well as them but i figure it is best to mention it discretely.
Only a Gentleman like yourself would think to do that. I have seen the toilet paper thing :O Ha Ha. I went to work with a tag on my sweater, once. It was very small, but a co-worker noticed it and told me. I think the guys in the group wanted their Boss to walk around like that all day just to get even 🙂 Thanks for the story and comment!
LOL! great write
Thanks Tony!
Welcome
Very nice poem with a cute story. As embarassing as it is I think I would pull him aside and tell him. He's probably like my teen and dresses in the dark! LOL. Another great write!
Thanks Christina. I agree. One of the guys should of. But, as I mentioned earlier in a comment above, I think they enjoyed seeing him at the disadvantage. It was funny though, I have to say. Thanks a lot for the comment!
Ha ha...love this..
Bloody good job..
Well done..
Thanks P.H. Rose. I can still see the tag. hahahaha
