Timothy Hicks Poet Limerick

Careful What You Wish For

There once was an ambitious man named Eddie,
who wanted a job in the traveling industry.
The genie granted his wish,
but Ed never expected this;
an employer's note saying, "Welcome to the DMV!"

Timothy Hicks June 12, 2013 at 11:11 PM Isn't that one of the rules about things you CAN'T wish for (yes I am taking advice from Aladdin).

Richard D Seal June 10, 2013 at 3:27 PM He got off easy Tim, it could have been, "Welcome the the DMZ". which to be honest was what I was expecting hmmmmm, trust me. Take care, Richard Timothy Hicks June 11, 2013 at 10:10 AM Not sure what the Z stands for... but if you say it's worse than the DMV it must be pretty horrible!

Poet Tacito June 10, 2013 at 9:26 AM HA!!!!!! "Now serving number zero", said the new hire to self. Timothy Hicks June 11, 2013 at 10:09 AM So that does that make the new hire a negative since he's BELOW zero?... LOL!
