And are you qualified?

Question: And are you qualified!?

Hey…I’m a Poet, How do I get a Job!?

So, what are your qualifications!?
“Well, I like to play with words!.”
I see, what do you mean by that!?
“I put them together to make lines!.”
Lines!? You mean on paper!?
“Yes, thoughts, images, etc!.”
Wow, sounds like fun!
“Sometimes I even make them rhyme!”
Great!. I have an opening as a stockboy!?
“Super, when do I start!?”Www@QuestionHome@Com

My first day in the stock
room
I must say, I dont like that push
broom
If you mock my smock I will clean your clock
I could have been a priest but I was
defrocked
So here I am, nine to five
Trying to keep this rhyme alive
At noon and three they let me poop
Then it's back to shelving Campbell's soup
It could be worse
I could be in a hearse
Riding in the back
Or stretched on a rack
Not one to balk,
I'll talk, I'll talk
Makes no never mind to me
If I spill the frijoles
But I digress
And I've made a mess
All over the stock room floor
Tomato sauce and broken glass
The boss just slipped in it and fell on his
a s s
Oh well, there goes my steady pay
This stockboy job sucked

Poet!. In the scheme of career choices, that ranks just below "Philosophy" and just above "Egyptologist"!.

If you want to make a career out of it, good luck to you!.

Poetry sells considerably less than novels typically do, so getting a publishing deal will be next to imposible!. If you're good enough, and lucky, it will happen!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Lucky me I can get my way!.

For I have a way with words, and a stunning face!.

My words and face in sync!.

Lucky me, for with these words and with this face, I know how to get my way!.

As they say, "It`s my way or the highway!"

Shh That`s how I got my drivers license,and other things to, but don`t tell nobody! lol
