I got up early had a shower, I had a busy day ahead If I'd known how t'would turn out, I would've stayed in bed Drove to work, I had an interview for a senior promotion In the parking lot I got involved in a heated commotion. An idiot cut me up and drove into the last space My blood was boiling and I told him to his face Curses were exchanged, I shouted " I'm gonna kill you" I asked folks who he was, seemed nobody knew. I went in for the interview and there sat before me Was the idiot from the parking lot, a Mr John McGee I was cursing under my breath saying, me and my big gob And as you've probably guessed, I didn't get the job. Written 15th February 2021. It Was a Good Morning Until.. Poetry Contest. Sponsored by Tania Kitchin.

It is no wonder that you got a first win - I had to laugh at your humor but someone desperate for a job would be devastated. Well penned my friend, this was excellent. Blessings, Jennifer.

I wonder how many things like this do happen in real life? I'm thinking that if it had been me, once the initial shock was over, I would have probably turned round and headed for the exit having decided that I didn't want to work for him anyway. Congratulations on your win.

Thank you Gary, so many bosses think they can do what they like and like to bully their way through life. Love it when the little man takes them on and wins. Enjoy your weekend. Tom

Thank you very much Eve, hard to keep cool in that situation, I know many can be arrogant thinking they can do what they like, unfortunately its the likes of them that have power over us. Tom
