How to Battle an Army of Elmo Strollers

Carol eats sandwiches in her office

occasionally she’ll poke her head out
and tell me I’m doing a bad job tearing tickets

She plays solitaire on her computer

Thousand Island dressing dribbling down her chin

and she’s right

I am bad at my job

I’m writing this poem

when I should be tearing tickets

and I’m gonna steal her pickle

when she leaves the room
