The Antidote To Workplace Stress Poem by Shaun Cronick

The Antidote To Workplace Stress

Rating: 5.0


Stress.
It's a bad thing.
It can cause.
Cancer.
Heart attacks.
Depression.
And a myriad of unpleasantnesses.
So.
If you encounter stress in the workplace.
There is nothing more.
Calming.
Serene.
And soothing.
Than a cup of herbal tea.
Or tisanes to use their real name.
Try Lobelia.
But be careful.
Very careful.
In large amounts it can cause,
Vomiting.
Diarrhea.
And Death.
So a small quantity in a large mug.
Choose a light green mug if you have one.
For the colour green,
Has been scientifically proven to,
Have a calming affect on people.
Add a greedy spoonful of organic honey,
And a smidgy light sprinkle of cinnamon,
Stir slowly.
Then pour,
The entire contents...
Over the desktop PC,
Of the person who's,
Getting right up your nose.
Instant,
Stress,
Relief.
Works like a charm.

A fascinating and unique write. A great satire indeed. I was caught unaware of the final lines of the poem. Well written and crafted.
