Onsite

 

The pressure was heavy, the schedule was tight,

Slogged like a dog, tested with all might,

Worked through the day, sat late in the night,

But for me, there is no onsite in sight…



She meets me for coffee, she catches up for a bite,

As I write this stupid poem, she is packing for her third long flight,

What did I do wrong, that she did right?

Why for me, there is no onsite in sight…



Want to climb the Eiffel, see Paris from that height,

Want to see the felled Berlin wall sipping beer light,

Want to bet that dollar as I see Vegas by the night,

Unfortunately for me, there is no onsite in sight…



Talked to my boss, with her I had a fight,

But she earns too much to understand my plight,

Now I don't work that hard, I take it light,

Because for me, there is no onsite in sight…



The future is dark, it ain't bright,

Life is routine, office bus I will board and alight,

Stay offshore and test byte by byte,

For me, there is no onsite in sight…
