Ode to Office Supplies
There is a reason, I will try to explain,
Of the comfort I feel again and again,
When I walk into the office supply room - shelves and drawers all littered
With notebooks, pens, and paper clips sparkling as if covered in glitter.
An overwhelming feeling spreads into a warm, fuzzy sense of calm,
Causing eyes to flutter and lips to tingle under layers of lip balm.
Is it the order and harmony these supplies create -
Saving messy desks and scattered papers, helping work ethics rejuvenate.
Whatever it may be
I will always get a sense of glee,
When incomes a shipment of post-it notes from Office Depot,
Which will most assuredly contribute to my getting an office window.
Of the comfort I feel again and again,

With notebooks, pens, and paper clips sparkling as if covered in glitter.

When incomes a shipment of post-it notes from Office Depot,
