Jan Allison Poet Limerick

Notes About The Poem

It Was One of Those Mornings

Woke up this morning - had a dreadful shock
I had not set the alarm on my clock
Swore until the air turned blue -
I’d missed my job interview!
My family think I’m a laughing stock

Got phoned this morning everything’s fine -
Was offered a job by a friend of mine
Any hours I choose
I simply can’t lose
I’m a ‘secret shopper’ my job’s divine!
