The Lech

There once was a sweet girl named Judy,
Promoted 'cause she was a cutey.
The boss was a wretch,
She called him a lech,
So she was dismissed from her duties.

Thanks so much my friend. Had a couple like that but was hired and not promoted for that reason. Was let go when I didn't "play ball". No prob. Lots of good work out there for someone who wants a job at the time God takes care of His Own. I'm old now and I get hired for my experience not my looks. lol Thanks bunches my friend. God Bless, JB
