Furtive Fly

“Hey Bill, what’s that spot in the hall ?” “Awe, that’s just a fly on the wall.” “John, you seen foreman Bob? “No. Why? Where is that slob? “Careful! He’s got big ears, y’all ! “ “Yeah, they say he’s got eyes in the back of his head.” “Un huh, and he’s dumber ‘n dirt, I’ve heard it said” “Yup, ugliest dude I’ve ever seen in my life! “ Sure do pity foreman Bob’s wife!” “ I hear ya! Can’t believe they sleep in the same bed! “Hey Bill, that fly on the wall got lost.” “Yeah,? Where in heck did it go, Hoss? “Psst! Here comes foreman Bob!” “Quick, pretend we’re doin’ our job!” “Hey! So glad you could buzz in on us, Boss!”

I'm wondering if the fly told the boss about the conversation. I sure is an interesting conversation! I'm having fun going through the earlier ones.

Congratulations on winning in the contest with this one. My entry did not make it. These are three very finely written limericks.

Robert, I like your humor, and the limericks. I believe there should be a liberal number of fun poems to read. Ever read Ogden Nash? Thanks for your nice comments on my Tax poem. I just posted a Dandelion poem

Quite humorous and meaningful write. Please give once over to the syllable counts especially the middle Limerick as it's for the contest, Robert
