Robert A. Dufresne Poet Limerick

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!”
