The Chair Troll
.
What is a "Chair
Troll", I'm sure you may ask,
Where does it hide,
and what is its task?
I'm writing this poem
to explain it to you,
If you are thinking
of joining the zoo.
.
The Chair Troll is posted
to Traffic, Ack-Eye,
There is such a creature,
do you think I would lie?
Two-Five-Two is his
number, Terry Shaw is his name,
He is currently playing
the promotional game.
.
Jens Linde was promoted
and sent to the jail,
And now its the Chair
Troll sifting the mail.
Oh the Chair Troll will
sit in the office all day ,
Doing nothing at all,
what more can I say .
.
Nine-Eight-One calls
the radio, Nine-Eight-One are you there?
While Terry is sitting,
all snug in his chair .
There's four peds been
struck, there are no units free,
While away sneaks the
Chair Troll he is easy to see.
.
He stands six foot -
six, boy is he tall,
A definite asset in
the gym playing ball .
That's where he is,
if he is not in his chair ,
And when he returns,
he is gasping for air.
.
So now he will rest,
in his chair with his lunch,
A box of Troll Food,
he will quietly munch.
While on the phone he
will be talking with Gail,
At least nine times
a day, he will call without fail.
.
Then suddenly slowly
he will rise from his chair,
And go to his car and
then come on the air.
Nine-Eight-One, I am
clear but I'll be on a detail,
up at the hospital,
visiting Gail.
.
When he is through,
then some tickets he'll write,
Quietly hoping the offenders
will fight.
Then he can build up
a supply of O.T.
To take time off of
work, so his time will be free.
.
So that's what you face,
if you are joining Ack-Eye,
The Chair Troll himself,
if you still want to try.
Perish the thought,
but there are worse things I feel,
The Chair Troll promoted,
only this this time for real.
