WOW! Now tell us what you REALLY think. LOL! This is such a hoot. It's skillfully-written and pull-no-punches. Also, the message is extremely clear. BRAVO!

Perfect. These are very well composed limericks that deserve a good slap. The pictures are very substantially representative of your words and I would say you should rate in this contest. Well done!

Well, this little offering certainly brought back memories of corporate life for me. I never did fit in that well and your descriptions are spot on. Thanks!

    Thank you for the great review, Reese. I was actually lucky enough to never have to deal with corporate life, but I could just imagine. Lol. I really appreciate the generous stars. I'm glad you liked this silly piece. Have a great day.

Ha! Ha! This is priceless. First of all, thank you for actually writing not one, but two perfectly formed limericks. Your phrasing and meter are spot on! Secondly, you have answered this prompt in spades with two dueling employees and their intense dislike of each other. And finally the formatting of this post rocks! These two pictures totally enhance what you've written about them and are funny as hell. GREAT JOB POET!!!! Lynda

    Wow, thank you so much for the awesome review and giant sixer, Lynda. Yeah , I always try to go with the rhythm of "There once was a man from Nantucket" whenever I attempt one of these limericks, so I'm somewhere close to meter. Lol. When I came across these pics I just had to use both of them. I couldn't resist. Haha. I really appreciate the gracious rating, Lynda. I'm glad you liked this silly piece. Have a wonderful day and thank you again.

This one gave me a smile. I think I'd like to slap both of them. One is a suck up and the other doesn't shower. Perhaps they're perfect for each other. Good luck in the contest.

Ah, two different voices, but both wind up at the same anatomical part.
Funny how people sometimes see others the same way others see them.
Well-written limericks.

Best of luck at the polls.

Peace, Lee

So, which side of this limerick pairing is the autobiographical one?? You have definitely given an unfortunate situation an 'airing' in a pull-no-punches manner (or lack of manners). They are both well written, very much within the limerick tradition of grubbiness.

    I'm the one bitchin' about the stench. Lol. I drive a truck and sometimes I get in at night and it's clear that the guy before me doesn't keep up on his ass washing chores. Haha. Thank you for the great review and stars, Lisa. I'm glad you liked this dumb thing.

    Definitely unpleasant to be shut in a cab with a shitty stench.
