I've got the "Olive Garden" blues...









The AZ poet is a west coast rep been around longer than ten years. Those of us who have met him know exactly who he is by his posts and sense of humor. By the way, I think his lousy poetry is funnier than hell and really captures what we go through in this job. Getting a laugh or two or sure better than complaining about work. Keep it up AZ Poet! On and that Enterprise car reference was genius!
 




Alright now!
Won't you listen?

When I first met you didn't realize
I can't forget you for your surprise
You introduced me to my mind
And left me wanting you and your kind
Oh yeah!

I love you oh you know it

My life was empty forever on a down
Until you took me showed me around
My life is free now my life is clear
I love you sweet leaf though you can't hear
Oh yeah baby!

Come on now try it out

Straight people don't know what you're about
They put you down and shut you out
You gave to me a new belief
And soon the world will love you sweet leaf
Oh yeah baby
 




WHAT'S A CALL????

Many are perplexed by this...

The answer is really hit or miss...

in Pharma sales what's a call????

Do you have to see him in the hall?

When you drive near and far...

can you see him in his car?

My DM wants seven calls a day...

I'll achieve this goal in my way.

What's a call the newbie rep asked me...

Here's the answer, I'm sure you will agree.

George Costanza from that TV show

is really in the know!

"IF YOU THINK IT'S TRUE IT'S NOT A LIE!

That's the answer My oh My!
 












Ok, I'll agree the AZ Poet is no Robert Frost. However his or her commentary on our company and industry is right on the money, I laughed at every one of his "poems." At least he isn't complaining about scrubs or working the all day lie. I suppose it's good to laugh at ourselves and our work.
 




The old drug rep

It's been quite a while

when I used to smile.

Carrying a bag was so much fun..

got much respect from everyone!

The job was so real....

never bought a meal!

Access was a breeze...

Saw all my doctors with ease!

There was no fright...

not a formulary in sight!

Meetings were fun...

we weren't under the gun.

It was such a dream.

Didn't have a selling team!

Now Pharma's no way...

to make a living today!
 




Goin' home, late last night from my territory
Suddenly I got a fright
Yeah I looked through a window and surprised what I saw
Fairy with Boots are dancing with a dwarf, alright now!

Fairies wear boots and you gotta believe me
Yeah I saw it, I saw it, I tell you no lie
Yeah Fairies wear boots and you gotta believe me
I saw it, I saw it with my own two eyes, well all right now!

Yeah, fairies wear boots and you gotta believe me
Yeah I saw it, I saw it, I tell you no lies
Yeah Fairies wear boots and you gotta believe me
I saw it, I saw it with my own two eyes, well all right now!

So I went to the doctor the next morning to see what he could give me
He said "Son, son, you've gone too far wearing those scrubs
'Cause smokin' and trippin' is all that you do"

I'm so tired of this Covid shit...

If I sit at home any longer I will have a fit.

Working at home is a chore...

No I can't take it anymore!

Useless conference calls promptly at nine...

all I get is a sore behind.

I play solitaire till I'm red in the face...

living like this is a disgrace.

Virtual lunch set up at one

can't wait until the damn thing is done.

Went out in the field for a half day

all I saw were signs "No rep today!"

All my district feels the same.

Damn has this job has become lame.

It can't last long anyone can see...

Unemployment line is in store for me!
 
















I'VE GOT THE BLUES

The AZ poet has nothing to do....

he sits in his basement feeling blue.

His wife is as ugly as Porky Pig....

with her broken teeth and dirty blonde wig.

He got his degree in History.

Became a drug rep with ole A-Z.

He writes silly poems to pass the time.

Half the time they hardly rhyme!

His attitude is as bad as can be...

this silly poet from A-Z!
