Raider of The Lost Archive

Hanging there in rows, not columns,

blood and sweat and tears you’ll bleed

while seeking what you need through slaloms,

zig-zagging at breakneck speed.


When the boss says, “Can you find ..”

once again you’ll lose your mind

slogging through his archived folders

older than Grand Canyon’s boulders.


Filing that’s so antiquated

next to Stonehenge, it’s outdated.

Yet, he’s confident, in gist,

he’s hired an archeologist.


You’d better hope the file is locked

and can’t be opened till you’ve clocked

your workday’s end and won’t be docked

because your efforts have been blocked—

although you know that won’t be so.
