No Fair Fer Shure

Poor ol' boy Richard Odekirk,
Just couldn't get fired and hasta work.
It's unfair that he'll miss the enjoyment,
Of his 96 weeks of Unemployment!

Just for Caties contest!!!

Yikes, with 96 weeks of unemployment, it's understandable why Richard wanted to get fired. Very funny, William! Wishing you luck in Catie's contest. She's had some very entertaining entries and yours is certainly up there. Again, it's nice to see you here on the Soup. Love, Carolyn
