Man, even though your stories about your shitty job crack me up, you gotta find a new job. Life is too short. Your true talent is obviously your knack for snappy prose, go with it. You're good, and not just a little bit. I know nobody asked for my two cents, so you can take it or leave it.

there was once a skot from seattle,
who wrote sonnets embattled;
he said his job was hateful,
(without being ungrateful)
and left me quite shaken and rattled.

Quit the stupid job and start a writing career. We all know you've got scads of talent. You say you're lazy, but geesh...you show up for work every day...and work.

Aaah, I don't really hate my job. I just kind of hate it lately. I was simply exercising my natural right to aimlessly bitch about working.

A peon named Skot wrote a sonnet
'Bout his job--he put curses upon it.
But the lines that he wrote--
Though they rhymed--wouldn't float
With all those extra syllables messing up the flow; not to mention failing to conform to the formal definition of a sonnet.

Your true talent is obviously your knack for snappy prose

Yes, prose. But nice try.

I can feel the love today.

I'd do you. This is high praise in some civilizations.

A poem of fourteen lines: two stanzas, called the octave, being of four verses each, and two stanzas, called the sestet, of three verses each, the rhymes being adjusted by a particular rule.

Note: In the proper sonnet each line has five accents, and the octave has but two rhymes, the second, third, sixth, and seventh lines being of one thyme, and the first, fourth, fifth, and eighth being of another. In the sestet there are sometimes two and sometimes three rhymes; but in some way its two stazas rhyme together. Often the three lines of the first stanza rhyme severally with the three lines of the second. In Shakespeare's sonnets, the first twelve lines rhymed alternately, and the last two rhyme together.

**Sniff!** Right then.

Gee, I thought I was the only one who wrote sonnets about hatin' cubicle life: http://robin-smith.diaryland.com/030213_19.html

With regard to your reply I draw your attention to Comment No 0001531 of 25 Sept 2003 on your www.izzlepaff.com site wherein some scallywag calling him/her self P E Dant has submitted a pathetic piece of witless doggerel in reply to some other equally witless clot; desist I say! My name is not for useless drivel!

Yours &c,.

P.S. It's not April 1st but I am having a lend of you!
