I wash my hands, I wash my hands, I put on a shirt, make sure it is right, I adjust my tie, it has to be straight, I look in the mirror, it is straight! I turn around, glance at my back, I polish my shoe, it is shinning black, I give the mirror, another final check, It is time to get to the office desk ! I get into the car, wear the seat belt, I start my car it is quarter to eight, I have doubt? have I locked my door? I stop my car, check the front door! I go back to the car before I start- A doubt? did I close the kitchen window? I walk back inside, the window is closed! I am back in my car, then I stop the car. I have a doubt? did I put on burglar alarm? I go back to make sure alarm is on! Finally I am on my way to my office, driving at speed limit on inside lane, at the office boss looks me with disdain! The boss asks me reason I am late? I smile and lie- “its something I ate!!!” with time my boss why so very obsessed?? to have me work there, he is so blessed!!! obsessed, bigoted he is such a snob! I am a simple guy, just doing my job!!!

This is quite humorous. You do sound a LITTLE OCD, but I understand it. I am always rechecking my purse everywhere I go because I have left it in stores,. My phone too. So I constantly check that my keys, wallet, and phone are with me. I love how you ended this one!

Thanks Andrea! Spot on! OCD combines an obsession which is a fear like one of getting burgled and another compulsive behaviour of repeatedly doing something like washing hands in this case!

Krish, do you think you might be a tisch (a little bit) OCD? Loved your rhyme and flow...and story. Hope you still are employed there...if you want to be!
