He-Who-Hides

~~~~ He-Who-Hides~~~~


"He-who-hides" just snuck out the damn door
Leaving a list we just can't ignore.
Put the customers on hold
So we can do as we're told.
Oh! the joys of working in this store.



 for Carolyn's "Horrible Bosses" contest
 * not a current boss

Carolyn Devonshire Date: 8/20/2011 4:23:00 PM Francine, I had a boss like this once, but not in a store. He'd just delegate duties and check out for the day. Enjoyed your poem! Congratulations on your win. Check the blog I just posted on the home page and you'll find that a dozen people helped decide the rankings for this contest. Love, Login to Reply

Andrea Dietrich Date: 8/18/2011 12:15:00 AM what a good name for him, Francine. Yeah, I did not read all Carolyn's rules before writing MY liimericks and then I came here and saw I would have to choose just ONE of my four. I too chose a boss from long ago. Too chancy to write about the one screwing me over these days!!! Luv, Andrea Login to Reply

Kyle Kriticos Date: 8/17/2011 2:48:00 PM ahahahahah this situation comes alive so well in your poem. Brief though it was, we can see the vivid imagery of what it like to have a terrible boss at that store! Login to Reply
