Owed To a Horrible Boss

That job he assigned came out a loss, 
which tells why my boss' so mean and cross.  
Then down below my belt 
his firm rough grasp I felt, 
as me out on my ass he did toss.

John, I don't think you "owed" this boss anything but a reminder that he set the perameters for your job. Funny 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, Carolyn
