The Perks of the Office

A friend of mine steals
from the place where he works
he says it’s not wrong
it’s just one of the perks

A packet of staples
a pencil or two
and why should they mind
if he just takes a few?

I’ve done it myself
here and there, now and then
and I didn’t get caught
so I did it again

But how would I feel
about getting things free
if everyone else
started stealing from me?
