At my terminal I sat typing, trying hard to fight off napping. When there came a slight, soft rapping. Rapping on my office door, only that and nothing more. Then I sat up, startled, freaking, just to hear a voice a-speaking "Your presence now I am a-seeking, seeking on the lobby floor. Bring your badge and nothing more". What is this I'm a-hearing? Is it the news that I've been fearing? Now my desk they'll soon be clearing. Clearing posters off my door, varnished wood and nothing more. I bolted upright, staggered, straining. From my head the blood a-draining. See the hurt and shock I'm feigning. Feigning hurt and loss galore. Pure BS and nothing more. Now the bloody axe is falling. Now the perpetrator would be stalling "Personnel may soon be calling. Call you to another chore". I think, "Right pal, nevermore".... In my beach chair I'm a-napping. Now my consciousness is sapping. By the soothing steady lapping. Lapping waves upon the shore. Just this beer, a few and four, who needs this work evermore?

Love this whoever created it. Was there rapping today?
This was on ConocoPhillips layoff blog, so who is the author...
Awesome!
This is the week for perp walks with armed guard escorts. They literally are coming to take you away.
460 ... You are the troll. Cut the crap. If you have nothing better to say then shut up
Who cares who created it. Was an interesting read considering the timing this week and eventual ROM announcements.
460, OP certainly fooled us then. Coming to think of it there was nothing specific to Chevron there.
Folks, this was posted on nearly every message board as were some others here. Before you post responses, think, you may be replying to a troll post.
Brilliant!
Bravo! Who said Chevroids were not creative?!
Born in Boston died in Baltimore
So many bitter people. I'll be glad when All the cuts are done. CVX is so damned slow. Not a lot of work going on right now. People are scared and uncertain and have to talk and post to get it off their chests. This too shall pass.
Must be an engineer... All they know is copy and paste. Best of luck using those skills in the real world.
he/she cannot sign their name to the stolen poem. Nor the hours stolen while not working.
It is The Raven by Edgar Allen Poe. Very appropriate for this time of year.
Good stuff
OP: well done. May be a take off from an Edgar Allen Poe poem. The Raven perhaps. Can't recall for sure, high school was over 40 years ago.
Napping and typing on this site may be a reason they took you away.
Far OUT!
Dumb
Sign your name to the poem....
