A Suitable Replacement
Whom I had decided to pick
For the office was Dick,
Until I learnt that he’d been sick,
Unable to even his lips lick
And on drugs to not seem a stick…
And I had to settle for Nick.
Now sure that it was no trick
Like wonderful jobs, in reality ‘slick’,
Yet aware that Approved Nick
Had been too many lamps their wick:
To impervious rivals, pin prick…
And no push-over for a skin thick;
The same thing as one breaking a brick!
So, for Dick – replacing Nick
A very long ‘Good’ I tick.
