but since the damsels in our corporate affairs rarely find time to read such articles the office is always chilly and so amidst chattering teeth and shivering limbs another ode..

There is a place ruled by few,
A place rich with its brilliant hue,
That is colder than the subjects can bear,
Eskimo like dresses they need to wear.
Mails from the subjects the rulers detest,
Coz it affects their hours (8-5) of rest.
Temperature is a constant 23 ± 1 they say,
We have to agree; after all it is their way or the highway.
In the Harry Potter world there are Dementors,
They suck all happiness and create a dense chilly fog,
In our world we have these tormentors
Wanting our office to resemble a morgue.
It would be prudent for Corp affairs to read their history,
Especially the Marie Antoinette story.




For the readers: “Let them eat cake" is the traditional translation
of the French phrase "Qu'ils mangent de la brioche", supposedly spoken
by Marie Antoinette upon learning that the peasants had no bread. The
French revolution happened after that and she was executed.
