Retirement Blue Ribbon"Retirement dinner jokes" is the request of Launa M. to honor a child welfare social worker. From that request came these limerick poems to share with you if you should need something short and snappy to say to someone who is leaving social work - or, for that matter, other professions.
the nurses
Single parents, adoptions, and homes
And the children in dark catacombs
That you wouldn't forsake
Cause they needed a break
From some negative family syndromes.
Improving the psyche of kids
Out of families nearly on skids
Was your purpose in life
In a job that was rife
With dilemmas that danced around ids.
A mother who's in a hard place
Cause she's needing some help in her space
For the children she rears.
You assuaged all her fears
And you did it with style and with grace.
A worker like you made a dent
In the poor situations that rent
A child from the peace
She deserves as mouthpiece
For the helpless deserving content.
We salute you for your social work
And your dealings with every clerk
In the beaurocracy
Where you're really on-key --
Unsurpassed with the oddball or jerk.
