Terry Flood Poet Rhyme

Tribunal

You shouldn’t have been sacked
So I’m glad that we could meet
I think I’ve got it cracked
Won’t you please take a seat

You cannot be dismissed
Just because your boss is vexed
For if you work one Christmas
Then you shouldn’t work the next

December twenty-fourth and fifth 
Just two days off this year
That’s called unfair dismissal
And we can help you here

I’d say we have a case
For it’s against employment laws
So let’s take down some details 
What’s your first name Mr Claus?

Rico Leffanta December 28, 2021 at 10:32 AM You are right; the Big Boss can't lose, plus he has the support of millions of children who will not accept christmas presents every other year! Clever! Aloha! Terry Flood December 28, 2021 at 11:29 AM Blimey, Rico… if that happened, dads would have to dress up as Santa… as if that could ever work! Terry

Tom Cunningham December 27, 2021 at 9:54 PM Justice for the North Pole one, justice for the North Pole one, justice for the North Pole one. Isn't life a **itch. Lol Tom Terry Flood December 28, 2021 at 3:20 AM Let’s make some placards and March on parliament. Cheers, Tom. Terry

Gershon Wolf December 27, 2021 at 7:40 PM Very cute, Terry. I doubt if that gent can claw his job back, however. Season's Joy, Gershon Terry Flood December 28, 2021 at 3:19 AM Well, as Santa’s boss is likely to be the big man upstairs, I doubt he would win his case. All the best for the coming year, Gershon. Terry

L Milton Hankins December 27, 2021 at 6:39 PM Oh, this one is precious, Terry. So, so funny. I'm assuming your head of the labor union, right? Terry Flood December 28, 2021 at 3:17 AM Thanks, Milt. I was scraping aside brain cells for ‘ideas’ when this just came to me. Glad you enjoyed. Terry
