THE SHIPPING DEPARTMENT

We are all very proud of our Shipping Department
And with one notable exception – on which I won’t comment
We work very hard and none of us shirk!
But that’s because we take pride in our work.

Now our Dennis and Dick, they go like the clappers
And nobody can call either of them slackers.
Fred Number Two, who’ll soon be Fred One-and-a-half!
He works hard as well, yet still makes us laugh.

Then there’s Fred Number One – with the bald headed sheen,
He is in charge of the Copying Machine
But I’m not sure if he does anything else as well,
Except tinkering with anything electrical!

Then there’s Mr Shead – Out Big White Chief!
About him, at some time, we all have a beef!
As for me, I type letters, Bills of Lading and all that;
I just type all day, drink my coffee and grow fat!
