Building That Career

Had an interview — poured it on thick.

That he always had aimed
For a job using mortar and brick.
Please feel free to write your own limerick using the same first line and post it in my comments. And if you’re on Facebook, I hope you’ll join my friends in that same activity in my Limerick-Offs.

But their access is blocked by your guard—

Feared by most sober men—
And boozing pre-roofing is barred.
