The Queen Bee




The Queen Bee of the office, is employed to tell you ‘No’.
The second you are seen, you are assessed as friend or foe,
you will not be spared, if you don’t take the hint and go.
Everything you say, she does her utmost to ignore,
God help you if you’re adamant, and try to argue more.
Obviously you have never met her kind before,
she takes a step towards you, pushing you back through the door.

Don’t mess with the Queen Bee, she’s more powerful than you,
with a veneer of politeness she assumes you won’t see through.
She stares at you in silence, hoping to intimidate,
and then repeats her answer ‘No,’ till you run for the gate.
Even when you prove her wrong, she tries hard to deny it,
her job is to wear you down, make you feel like an eejit.
