\u2018Twas the night of the office Christmas party<\/p>\n
Not a single employee dared to be tardy.<\/p>\n
They put on their dresses, their jackets and ties,<\/p>\n
Spritzed on perfume and said their goodbyes.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
They hopped in their cars and drove through the snow<\/p>\n
To join their coworkers with \u201cplus-ones\u201d in tow.<\/p>\n
Everyone wanted to have a good time.<\/p>\n
But some of them ended up crossing the line.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Jan wore a dress so short and low-cut<\/p>\n
It showed off her cleavage (and even her butt)<\/p>\n
Michael immediately went on the defensive<\/p>\n
When Pam pointed out that his tie was offensive<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Meredith avoided the small talk with peers<\/p>\n
Headed straight to the bar for a couple of beers<\/p>\n
Kevin showed up a whole hour late<\/p>\n
Went right to the buffet line and loaded his plate.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Dwight wore a t-shirt and shoes that were dirty<\/p>\n
Erin and Andy were overly flirty<\/p>\n
Phyllis complained of the poor wine selection<\/p>\n
Oscar prattled on about the election.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Stanley created all kinds of strife<\/p>\n
When he showed up with someone who wasn\u2019t his wife<\/p>\n
Ryan\u2019s new iPhone was glued to his ear<\/p>\n
But Toby in HR had no power here.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
When karaoke started, Roy sang a tune<\/p>\n
So inappropriate it cleared out the room<\/p>\n
Darryl\u2019s \u201cwhite elephant\u201d gift was a gag<\/p>\n
That book of erotica should have stayed in the bag<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Kelly gossiped about the folks in receiving<\/p>\n
Creed filled his pockets with silverware before leaving<\/p>\n
Jim was the lone voice of reason, quite sadly:<\/p>\n
The only employee who did not act badly.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Jim\u2019s behavior was noticed; his boss gave him praise<\/p>\n
And his next review came with a generous raise.<\/p>\n
There\u2019s a lesson to this fable you should never forget:<\/p>\n
At your next office party, practice good etiquette.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
