Surprise Promotion

It might be time to call it quits I'm bursting out in sobbing fits My face is breaking out in zits For this job I am unfit My resignation I submit ... What is this surprise promotion? To the farthest side of the deep-blue ocean That changes all my meshugineh notions ~ I've always yearned to speak Laotian __________________________________ 'Meshugineh' means 'crazy' in Yiddish.
