Relations

At work I did a job well,
---Ben
so they promoted me to
---Ben
Suprvisor of nobodies.
---Ben
A stranger I did a favor for,
---Ben
promoted me to 'aquaintance'.
---Ben
Back to the paid chores, good effort
---Ben
elevated my nowhere rank,
---Ben
to going-somewhere position.
---Ben
Off-duty, the acquaintance
---Ben
called from jail on DUI.
---Ben
On bailing him out, I was
---Ben
granted the title of 'friend'.
---Ben
My boss was in a terrible fix,
---Ben
with a deadlin over his head.
---Ben
I simply told him the little
---Ben
easy matter he overlooked.
---Ben
He gave me my own oak desk,
---Ben
with a highfaluting title;
---Ben
not because I was a genius,
---Ben
but 'cuz I saved his little neck.
---Ben
The 'friend' needed a job, so I helped
---Ben
him to be the supervisor
---Ben
of nobodies I was lifted from
---Ben
He promoted me to 'buddy'.
---Ben
That's how I became a boss
---Ben
with a very loyal buddy.
