Why Would I Work

Why would I work the eight year old asked me. So you can live the life. To eliminate strife. How lame do you think I am? said Josie. I’ll get paid not working without a fee. Written 12-28-2018 Contest: Tax and Finance Limericks Sponsor: Carolyn Devonshire Women Size 7, no preference at all. Anything would be wonderful.

I thought it was funny, and yet really pathetically un-funny too as it is true.

Nice, Caren, but the form is off. The shorter lines should have been three and four. Thanks for supporting the contest and congratulations on your win. Have a wonderful New Year! Best wishes, Carolyn
