Francine Roberts Poet Limerick

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.

Carolyn Devonshire August 20, 2011 at 4:23 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,

Andrea Dietrich August 18, 2011 at 12:15 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

Kyle Kriticos August 17, 2011 at 2:48 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!
