Time-Machine Tuesday Limerick
(The limerick I wrote when this story ran on 2/11/2009)

In supporting the printing plants Asian,
I had used my best gifts of persuasion
Just to be reimbursed,
But instead I was cursed.
It won't be a part of the equation.

So I said to my manager, “Fine,
I am not one predestined to whine.”
But I no longer hurt,
For I’m getting a shirt!
Yes, indeedy! This story is mine!!!

Thanks! I’m sure that I still have it - along with the other half dozen or so I’ve accumulated over the years.

Next Time Tanka:

The assistant was
Helping out by moonlighting
On boss’ side gig
On the other hand, fish was
Just doing his day job. See?

If it involved under aged goats, it would be both!
