GIFT
Here are a few limericks to make you smile this Monday. The prompt last week was BOSS.
If your company runs at a loss
The person to blame is the boss.
You have to work wonders
Whilst he commits blunders
And lives in the world of Pangloss.
I once had a wonderful boss
Whose charms on me weren’t a loss
“Your secrets,” she said
“Never give up until dead!”
So out the window with them I did toss!
There once was a cowboy called Hoss
Who fell out, big time, with his boss.
He jumped on his mount
With a big angry pout
And shouted, I’m off. And it’s your loss!
Is that man actually our boss
The one chewing strands of dental floss
I’ve heard of diet fads
But he’s really sad
Soon will be six feet under the moss.

But it’s really sad
He’s missing out on the applesauce.
Bob was a boss who was mean
The nastiest guy ever seen
One poor clerk
Was fired by the jerk
But took revenge on the fiend.

Julie was a boss who was nice
I’d surely work for her twice!
She praised everyone
For the work they had done
And always gave great advice.
Barbara Owen:
His lordship thinks he’s the boss
The rest of us don’t give a toss
Yes dear! No dear!
Three bags full dear
We all know the dog is the boss!
Our business chief is called Joss,
She makes a pretty good boss,
She’s fair with our pay,
Oft gives praise away,
And ‘hardly’ ever gets cross!
Daktari’s lion was called Clarence,
Boss-eyed and strange in appearance.
Although mild he appeared,
When poachers came near,
His roars saw them off in the distance.
Linking People2013:
Boss always right grants survival but a leader is not boss,
Boss doesn’t lead team, commands with a gloss!
Leaders work with the team unlike boss sitting in armchair,
Upon retirement boss is like any other to compare!
Leaders never retire unlike boss!
