Could you, just for today, try not to wilt the flowers?

Question

She's an outbreak of gloom in the corner

An affront occluded by pain

She can moan all four legs off a donkey

And persuade it to walk off again.

She can curdle the milk in your teacup

She can bore your glass eye to sleep

She can out-glum a manic depressive

She can drive a blind hangman to weep.

She's here as our Union contact

Our problems should all go through her

But I think she's too many already

If it's ok with you I'll demur.

Answer 1

Very nice. Send me an email.

Answer 2

Wow and double wow - I'm so glad you're here.

I've had a manager like her, but I never rose to these heights of creativity to describe her.   She was a po-faced, job's worth (do you use that expression in your neck of the woods?) without a single humorous bone in her body....I, on the other hand was, a free-thinking, though hard working individual who thought a day was wasted if no one had a joke with me (or at my expense)...needless to say, we didn't mesh....so after 17 years (2 under her regime) I took early retirement...for which I now thank her.

Obviously, I like this - very much.

Answer 3

Giggling...we all have known someone like this! Loved the second verse.
