// They work late in The Office at Night,
and her dress is exceedingly tight.
She stares down at her boss,
(both gauge profit and loss),
thinking, “Now! I won’t put up a fight.”
/// Those blunt thoughts she, out loud, didn’t blurt.
They’re implied, she had hoped, by her skirt.
If he tries something “funny”
I can end up his honey,
but he’s puny. I fear he’ll get hurt.
/// The girl’s boss, for his part, looks away.
He had leered at her rear this whole day.
The dramatic effect:
Sitting down, he’s erect.
Can’t stand up until she walks away.
/// Her blue dress is tight bottom and top.
At her hips it can make his jaw drop.
Also, she cannot sit,
but her bustline’s tight fit
is what causes HIS breathing to stop.
/// They stayed late for some data compiling.
The boss looks at her, furtively smiling.
He admires her styling
and he finds it beguiling
when she’s bending low doing the filing.
