It’s never too late!
No emergency too great
Those who could relate
Government sponsored berate
No one’s going to die: Wait!
Two calls from work
‘Sickos’; ‘Ex-Ball’ berserk
My unconcerned smirk
Not having a back-up clerk
Good via management lurk
Old fart A/R boss
Second witch from ‘Oh Yeah!’ toss
Fun department floss
Like ‘See-Aye-Aye’ plugs to gloss
Prepare for the lay-off loss
‘Aura’ and ‘Hard Core’
Will continue their survey
Which key to portray
As keepers for their display
Titles, pay, H/R essay
I am not a tool!
Don’t play me for a fool!
Wall flower jewel.
To grin and bear a thick drool
Till the day I make brown stool.
Five more samples of tanka in monorhyme.

Oh, John Jr! That’s longer than I would ever imagine, especially for your conditions! So I shouldn’t rant like this…
