A receptionist is a person (please note!), Usually female, whose job is to receive. Like her male cousin, the wide receiver, She receives frequent passes from her own team And abusive hits from visitors playing the field. At times she is asked to do an end run Around some office rival, Or to execute a play That is clearly out of bounds. Should she complain, She might find herself Standing on the unemployment lines Or sitting on the beach. At times she is sorely tempted To call a strike. (But that's another sport!)
