Just a Little Note
an unofficial Vocal Challenge accepted!
A real piece of work was her boss
When he spoke, her eyes over would gloss
So she left him a note
Only two words she wrote,
"I quit!" (and it's only his loss!)

***This one goes out to Sonia Heidi Unruh... she's been doing a really fun thing for new subscribers where she will write them a poem with any two words or a theme that they give her... Since I already subscribed long ago though, she gave me the two words instead for a fun challenge!
The two words she gave me were "two" and "words" (I laughed out loud when she gave me those!) and the challenge was to incorporate them into a poem of some kind. I went with a limerick.
Here is her most recent poem for a new subscriber!

My Heart Bleeds For My Beloved Beets
***When Paul Stewart challenged me to write about my hatred of marshmallows it seemed like a great idea! After that, we challenged the entire Vocal community to play along and many of you did... we were rolling in laughter and it all seemed like good fun! But then the inevitable happened… two people (people I even considered friends!) had the audacity to write scathing takedowns of my favorite food. And I am NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO JUST LET IT GO! 🤣

haha, such a fun way to interact with new subscribers and other writers!
Fabulous Limerick!!! Loved this, Donna!!!
Cute stuff! Well done! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
I am so tempted now... ;)
I love Sonia's idea, and you did a great job with what she gave you!! I've said those two words before (and written them). It was so liberating.
Read this and didn't like it. that's a first for me. Old git I am. I've corrected that by liking it and commenting now. Love the short and snappiness of it!
Not sure how I missed this one, Donna! 🤗❤️ Quitting can be so powerful when it's the right move 💪 Been there ❤️
And you wrote a great limerick!
What a perfect addition to the post-pandemic "I quit!" culture we're in. Many people are quitting as quickly and concisely as this limerick. Love it!
Damn, between this and what Tina D'Angelo just posted I'm surrounded by angry women. I won't drink your beer, I promise!
Love the poem and the challenge! You rose to the occasion and surely did not disappoint! Great work Donna!
I love the sass of the two words she decided to give you. LOL Enjoyed this!
Hahahahahhahahahaha her two words were two words 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I loved your limerick. And I was kinda looking forward to another set of two words 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Delightfully petty & fun. Well done, Donna (like there was ever any doubt).
WELL DONE! Who hasn't wanted to say those two little words at some time or another? The irony is that as a writer, Donna, you just don't quit! :) Thanks for accepting the challenge!
Fabulous!!! Loved it!!!♥️♥️💕
😊 This is a fun limerick, and I certainly identify with the power of quitting after tolerating a poor excuse for a leader. 👏
Haha, fun stuff. I remember doing one with her. She's good.
So quit though you may I have just one thing to say What’s your plan to survive Without pay? Fun piece!
Ha! Great one! It’s the best feeling walking out of a terrible job!
Haha. That was fun. Well done.
