Crazy Tile Job

I laid tile on floors quite a bit
But questioned the distribution 
When the job I ended up with 
Was in a mental institution

When I walked in, the first thing I saw
Was a girl laughing and slapping her head
A man motioned for me to come over
I was glad and hanging on by a thread

The guy had a clipboard and said, "hello"
He said,"What you want? Glad we can meet"
I thought that was a strange way to put it
Then I noticed he was in his bare feet!

Now, I was hard eye ballin' that exit 
When another guy said, "How do you do?"
He said,"I'm sorry sir, please follow me!"
I did, after I checked for his shoes!

I finally finished that bathroom 
But on the jobs I've done since then
Although I tried as hard as I could
I couldn't do one, that fast again!

I'm gonna have to come up with a new rating system for your stuff. GOTD is too tame. Maybe a guffawmeter is needed, 'cept you'd blow the needle right off the dang thing. This was a hurricane of howls! ~ john
