Office Christmas Party, I Forget Which Year

To save money and because we were all so
Key worker busy shifting through the festive period

The grand project the big launch
We barely decorated the office and
Barely held some celebrations there

Dirty laundry in my cabinet
Stuffed below a stack of microwave snacks

I'd hardly ventured outside in weeks
No time to visit the parents, such a
Great excuse, working right up to the chimes
Sober as the days were long

Someone started vacuuming at five minutes past
Another kip on the camp bed beckoned

Some messages pinged on my phone
Old friends, your mum and dad, then
An unknown number reading:

hi lov e yuo bu t
we cantt b fr einds ny mor e
hapy new ye r
wi ll neve r forg t th ose time sx
