I Think That I Shall Never See My Name On an Executive Bathroom Key

I was a secretary in the 1960's, '70's and '80's, working at such places as The Tonight Show, 20th Century Fox and MGM. In those days, there was no #MeToo. There was just me and Him -- The Boss. I soon realized that because of the politics of the era, I was stuck in that position, with little hope of a promotion. I was thus inspired to write a collection of poems expressing my frustration. These poems, with illustrations by Judy Novgrod, were about that life, including typewriters, White Out and carbon paper. As the saying goes, "we've come a long way baby." But perhaps some people need to be reminded of where we came from.
