Motivational efforts by bosses,
When done thoughtlessly lead to large losses:
Gifting over-priced gin
As the “carrot’s” no win,
If the staffer has given up “sauces.”

Motivational Limerick
Tuesday, July 28th, 2026Rage (Limerick)
Sunday, July 26th, 2026An old fellow would rage night and day,
While his wife tried to keep him at bay.
He’d lash out for no reason
With rants about treason.
(At least, THAT’s what her lawyer will say.)
Communication Glitch (Limerick)
Tuesday, July 21st, 2026Poor Stuart was feeling perplexed,
And NOT just little bit vexed
By his wife’s “Honey do
Buy me honeydew, Stu!”
(He’ll be needing a translator next.)
Matters of Opinion (Limerick)
Monday, July 20th, 2026“This issue’s extremely clear-cut.
Moreover it’s open-and-shut.”
Such assertions emphatic
And blindly dogmatic
Make me itch to butt in and rebut.
Depart, Already! (Limerick)
Thursday, July 16th, 2026“Please depart, go away, kindly leave.
And the sooner the better! This eve
Would suffice, I’d avow.
Even better? Right now!
And don’t bother to seek a reprieve.”
The Impatient Patient (Limerick)
Tuesday, July 14th, 2026An old patient, impatiently waiting
For the doctor, was plotting his rating.
“Five-Thumbs-Down” it would be,
For he needed to pee,
Doc was late, and the muzak was grating.
“Highly” Happy Limerick
Friday, July 10th, 2026A jovial student, while high,
Said “By Jove, I’m a real lucky guy!
I’ve been acing each test
And I’m feath’ring my nest
Using scams, with the help of AI.”
Failed Investment (Limerick)
Wednesday, July 8th, 2026A young fellow is swimming in debt,
Cuz he recklessly made a big bet
On a bus’ness that failed.
All his partners have bailed,
And he’s now been assailed by regret.
Failure to Communicate? (Limerick)
Friday, July 3rd, 2026“Please slow down and repeat what you said,”
A gal begged her impatient spouse Ned.
“And do NOT blame my ears:
After two or three beers,
Your words rush, veer, & tumble ahead.”
Lonesome Limerick
Thursday, July 2nd, 2026“It is difficult living alone,”
Said a lonely old lady named Joan.
“But my problem’s been solved,
And it isn’t involved . . .
I just bother my kids on the phone.”
Apprehensive Limerick
Thursday, July 2nd, 2026My limerick plays with the 2 meanings of APPREHENSION:
Apprehending the risk of arrest,
Two famed felons were doing their best
To evade apprehension
And prison detention.
They’re in jail. (They were right to be stressed!)
