A Funny Poem – The Time My Business Partner Decided to Quit & Join a Circus
It started like any normal day,
When my partner burst in with a look of dismay.
“I’ve made a decision,” they said with a grin,
“I’m leaving the business—let the circus begin!”
I blinked in confusion, not sure what to say,
As they packed up their desk in a rather odd way.
“Are you sure about this? Is this really the end?”
“Yes,” they replied, “I’m off to join the big tent.”
They donned a red nose and a pair of big shoes,
While I sat there in shock, feeling a bit of the blues.
“Are you leaving me here with all this paperwork?”
“Yes,” they said cheerfully, “I’m off to be a circus jerk!”
They balanced on balls, they juggled with flair,
While I stared at the mess they left everywhere.
The office was silent, the phones rang in vain,
As my partner performed in a circus domain.
They posted on social media with a clown’s big smile,
“Join me under the big top, it’s worth the while!”
They rode on the elephants, they swung from the trapeze,
While I was stuck here, fighting the office fees.
The accountant called me, “What’s with the new expense?”
“A circus bill?” I sighed, “This makes no sense!”
The budget was crumbling, the sales were a mess,
And my partner was juggling with newfound success.
The emails piled up, the projects went slow,
While my partner was busy performing a show.
They posted their feats, they flaunted their fame,
While I was left managing the office in shame.
“Remember the time,” I thought with a frown,
“We planned to make millions and never come down?”
Now they were riding ponies and throwing pies,
While I handled the fallout, much to my surprise.
I watched their performances with a mix of regret,
They became a sensation, no sign of a debt.
Their juggling was perfect, their clowning was grand,
While I struggled alone with the office’s demands.
The media loved them, they were quite a hit,
And I was just stuck in the business pit.
The circus became famous, the reviews were quite kind,
While I was left wondering if they’d left me behind.
But then one day, as I shuffled through files,
I saw an email that brought me some smiles.
“My circus days are over, it’s time to return,
To the world of business, I’ve had my yearn.”
They came back with stories and a colorful hat,
“I’ve learned my lesson,” they said, “how about that?”
The office was buzzing, the staff gave a cheer,
As my partner returned with a grin ear to ear.
“Let’s get back to work,” they said with a laugh,
“Those circus days were fun, but here’s our new path.”
So we tackled the tasks with renewed vigor and might,
While my partner reminisced about the circus each night.
Now we laugh about it, the circus and more,
How they left the office for a life of encore.
The lesson was learned, and we both had our fun,
With a story to tell when the workday’s done.
