Accountant

Figures to cast

Finished at last

Now to extend

When will it end?

Estimates done

Contracts we've won

Losses we've made

(Can't be displayed)

Redundancy fear?

Not 'til next year!

Figures to cook

Inventory Book

Debts to collect

Mail to direct

Computer displays

Is it a Maze?

Budget forecast

Completed at last

Sales to predict

Boots to be licked

Talks to attend

When will it end?

Stocktaking done

Now for the fun!

Overtime work

Just cannot shirk

Nine until five

Keeps you alive

Work five hours more

Bills paid for sure

What, take a break?

Too much at stake

Memos to sign

Debtors to fine

Sheets to amend

When will it end

When will it end

When will it end..............?
