That Sinking Feeling
This limerick is something I wrote
In work when trying to stay afloat
My quest for buoyancy
Meant metaphorically
Because I’ve never worked on a boat
The wit and wisdom of a man who has neither…

After 8 wasted hours I’ve worked it out.
Methinks
Work stinks-
Asinine dopes,
Fading hopes-
Satisfaction sinks.

Pedantically stripping this one bare
It doesn’t seem to be factually fair
if you’d worked on a boat

(as long as the boat is still there)

I’m still standing, the metaphorical boat is still afloat and pedantry is always appreciated on this blog.

Allow me to throw you a line
To help ensure all will be fine
if you feel you may sink
perhaps you overthink
take a breath, swim away from the decline
Hope you are feeling less sunk. 🙂

Poor James sometimes can’t stay afloat
While he works for his meagerly groat
But there’s no denyin’
He works hard and keeps tryin’
Even with comments from an old goat.
