Writing it up

Writing it up, it's part of your job now. That's what he said.
As well as speaking up.
As well as shutting up
As well as stepping up
As well as being Mr Wolf, solving problems
As well as not being negative
And adjusting
And keeping trying
And not giving up
And sticking around
And loving it all

I love it all. I do.

2-3 red hot chilies (finely sliced),
