To the Man Higher Up

Sometimes I write my stuff at home And bring it down with me. When that’s the case, the stuff is good As stuff of mine could be.

At other times I have to come Before it’s off my mind, And try to do it at the desk To which I’ve been assigned.

And when, before the stuff is writ, Downtown I have to come, The stuff as maybe you have guessed, Is very, very bum.

O Mr. Boss, you’d rather have The good stuff, I presume. If that is so, I pray you, sir, Give me a Private Room
