Sorry-Sam Poem by Daleen Enslinstrydom

From the street to parliament
everybody knows a person like this
and their knowledge about everything
is a real pain in the bud.

Professor know it all
is a real chauvinistic pig
and he walks around
in a don’t care mode
and are always lurking and watching.

His office is in disarray
and his work is late
and leftovers from takeaways
are everywhere.

His screensaver is a naked lady
with voluptuous flesh pouring out everywhere
and over his skew glasses
he winks at all of the girls at work
and with his hand wiping over his gelled hair
he thinks that he is a Don Guan.

He lives on an overdraft
and shows his fake Rolex to everyone,
his sleeves are rolled up
and his denims are far too tight
and he curses so much
that the devil himself is taking notes.

He drives an old sports car
and blames everyone else
for taking his parking
and making him late.

He knows something
about everyone in the office block
and he is a tell tale to the boss.

His colleagues hate him,
his wife despises him,
his children ignore him

and his outlook on politics
can cost Zuma his throne,
his voice is the only one that can be heard
and he laughs like a clown

but at home he is a real sorry-Sam
and he is disgruntled and dismayed
with everything in life
and sorry for himself
but at work he is the bosses pet.
