I WORK FOR A COMPANY

 

I work for a company

Supposedly exploring

But if truth be told

It has me snoring

I drill all day for water

And it’s well boring

In the helium gas zone

And I am thankful for its easy company

Because it means I’m in the sunshine

And it is a constant reminder to me

“To be honest with you I wouldn't do it

If you paid me” I replied with a smirk
