Chapter One!




 


'Dumb' And 'Dumber'

 there once lived a lady quite jobless
accepted an offer, she felt blessed
a title, a desk, business cards too
livin' the good life .. she'd pulled off a coup 

didn't take long for that lady to learn

{ co-workers chatty .. rumor mill churned } 
owners marched to the beat of their drum 
known near and far as "Dumber' and 'Dumb"
no chance for this lady
naïve and too trusting
in time she would learn
they were truly disgusting

work ethic missing
lazy, pompous, pretentious
office was toxic
bosses obnoxious

needing an income, first rule of thumb?
 'don't leave a job before finding another 
advice wisely offered
by her very bright mother


then came the day they pulled her aside
called into their smarmy man-space
began a short speech .. (stupid, insipid) 
recited these words to her crestfallen face:

"You're like a big blob of soft wobbly Jell-O
no ball of fire, woefully mellow
if we tossed you against that wall where you stand
it's anybody's guess just where you might land"

it didn't take long to land on her feet
a tad worse for wear, a bit bruised and battered
sucked up her pride, forgave her own blunder
learned in due time Dumb and Dumber went UNDER!!!!
