BENCH? Yes! You heard it right!
A word so simple but is each one’s plight
Making the team lead frown,
And the manager lose his crown,
With raising eyebrows and wrinkled forehead
Bench!! Not a mind soothing word when said
Each week begins with the projection of hours,
Mails and mails saying ‘I have NO hours’,
Effort upon effort to reduce the number,
A tough job indeed for every team member
And then comes a day at the end of the week,
A Friday – to claim the hours at the peak,
In a hush hush, a rush for approval
Resulting in a constant disapproval
A final moment with a sign of relief,
When everything goes calm and still with a true belief,
Yes! I claimed the timesheet
A feeling cheering the wonderful feat…
Bench! Bench! Bench!
A thirst which doesn’t seem to quench!
