A Tall Tale

I worked with a lady called ‘Titch’
Though tiny, she was quite a witch
So bitter and twisted
Her faults can’t be listed
We re-named her the office *****!

Total fiction… I did have a boss we called the dodecahedron… let’s just say she was more than two faced lol

White Wolf Date: 4/21/2017 8:55:00 AM You make them look so easy, Jan! I saw an old man in a field, He had a tackle that just wouldn't yield, As it hung so low, He had no place to go, Too late for his fate had been sealed! I think I'm close to the rhythm, just gotta work on the context!
