The Boss’s Prayer
This poem was behind the bar at the Pear Tree Club and I have included it here although it's not about darts or drinking, as it probably reflects the feelings of many troubled Landlords.
Oh Bless me with staff
Who on time will arrive
Who’ll be willing to work
And less eager to skive
Oh Bless me with staff
A Reliable crew
Who will happily do
What they’re getting paid to
Oh Bless me with staff
Who’ll do what I say
And with seldom demand
A rise in their pay
Oh Bless me with staff
Efficient and quick
Who won’t forever
Be signing in sick
Oh Bless me with staff
Who me will not cross
And who’ll always remember
That I am..................THE BOSS!
