Repetend:
Repetend is the irregular repetition of a word or phrase at various places throughout the poem.
Compromise is my middle name
When the sales rep needs yellow
and the customer wants emerald blue
I give them both green
proudly, I smile.
Optimistic supervisor says bring by 5
obstinate boss demands it promptly for noon
I smile, and deliver it at 3
relieved.
When I request a substantial raise
but the organization's looking to lay off
I accept my new title and I smile
graciously.
Neglected family deserves my loving attention
typical conference on the week-end dictates attendance
understanding family comes for pleasure
I smile, joyfully.
Seeking less commitment to the office
alternately, I am urged to embrace retirement
Gritting my teeth, I smile, at the voluntary vacation
reluctantly.
I smile while relaxing on the sultry crystal sands
as trendy tourists select one of my loungers
with rental fee placed in my palm
easily, I smile.
Reflectively reviewing, I smile, at the eloquence of affairs
transpired by a life of obedient overtures
compromise is my middle name
satisfied, I smile.
