The Candidate

THE CANDIDATE A man looking for employment writes, Dear employer I would like to work for you. I’m not very good At everything but I am able to sit quite pleasantly On uncomfortable furniture sipping whatever beer you might offer. I wonder if you have an opening. The employer writes back, Dear candidate, I’m afraid you’re a bit over qualified. We would not be able to pay you what you’re obviously worth. The man writes back, Dear employer, all I ask for is some uncomfortable furniture and Some kind of beer. It would be my pleasure just to be getting out For a few hours. The employer writes back, As of now consider yourself hired. We will be ordering a set Of fine bar stools and imported beer, on draft. Not to mention hiring, a wet hostess to quench your thirsty desires. Look forward to meeting you.
