A Kangaroo Named Joe

A young ‘roo in Australia named Joe
At work, he was a no-call no-show
His boss he annoyed
He’s now unemployed
Where he works now, we really don’t know

LOL! Wherever the 'roo is working now...he's probably collecting "pocket money." Great job with this limerick. Congrats on your BIG win in Deborah's contest. Best wishes, KC

Joe obviously isn't carrying a brain in his sack as he hops around, Robert. This description could fit a lot of disgruntled workers I know. You penned a great entry for Deb Guzzi's contest. I really like the dark humor you employed here. Love, Carolyn
