Office Kitchen Etiquette - A Poem

In our kitchens you will find lots of conveniences to help you through the day.
If you enjoy those amenities, please listen and hear what I have to say.

This is not your dorm room or your penthouse.
Your maid doesn't work here, nor does your spouse.

If your meal splatters or explodes as it reheats.
Please wipe it up . . . keep it neat.

In our kitchens, science projects do not belong.
Leaving food to fester is not just gross, it's wrong.

Be mindful of others, as these are shared spaces
Be courteous and you'll have everyone's good graces.

It's a waste of our time to have to write or read these e-mails,
so clean up your act and I'll spare you the gory details.

Thank you, in advance, for being proactive
in keeping our kitchens sanitary and attractive.

That's a good one. Remember the e-nags we used to send out? I think they actually looked forward to them. People certainly respond better when you keep it light hearted.

Hee hee...I like it.

Now can you write something to the person who walks the bear that craps on the sidwalk infront of my house?

So far this is all I've got:

This is a VERY dog-friendly house...
and we REALLY don't want to offend you.

But it would make us all alot happier,
If you would pick up your dog's poo.

That poem made me cry. A good reference tool: listen to "the Dangerous Kitchen" by Frank Zappa
