A promotion

Now in motion

My manager began to preach

After all this while

I began to smile

This is as sweet as a peach

My dream in hand

My lifelong plan

All within reach

Goals met

Meeting set

I even prepared a speech

Everyone arrives

But to my surprise

He's here, that stupid leech

This can't be true

What should I do?

Seriously, why is he here?

The meeting starts

Loud beating hearts

Anticipation is clear

Then they say

There's an increase in pay

And I almost shed a tear

Words drawn out

I begin to doubt

As the end grows near

Say my name

This is no game

Say what I want to hear.

Finally, he says it

The one who will be the best fit

For the promotion I hold dear

It's not my name?

It's not my name!

That much is clear

What the fuck?

This sucks!

I hate you, Ameer!

Clapping begins

The room spins

Shit, I need a beer

This isn't the end

I'll try again

Just wait till next year!
