Poem
You’ll never guess whom the cat drug in; have a day where you just couldn’t win? He came strutting in, smacking his gum loud, dressed to the nines Goth Punk style. Tats trailed down his left arm, with my notice, he said, saving up for the other arm. When ask about drugs, his answer to me was: “Yes, I’ll share” most invitingly… Metal adornments on ears, nose, and lips, didn’t want to know, the all of it, at this. As I noticed, he smiled most cattily, asking: ‘Want to see where else they might be?’ Hair a Mohawk with a trail down his back, colors of the rainbow, left nothing to lack. Steel studs on a black leather butt, said, ‘Bite Me!’ with each and every staged strut. What are you kidding?… Do my eyes me deceive, or did he just make a pass, at ME? No Way! I’d rather drop kick him from my office fast, didn't he have any real class? The application, a Sales Manager Job. Who would try to send me over the deep end? Bet it had been a practical joke, beginning to end, so I simply held on, my friend. He must've read my face, forhe smirked, I continued to ask for his list of experience. His experience was none, but he said he managed his I-tune collection, very well. Of course, he was the Leader of his ‘Chat Room’. I wondered, ‘Who could tell?’ GEE! Also an impressive set up on his Facebook page, for his innumerable video games. I ask how he was qualified for ANY job? Said, Dad ‘THE CEO’ wanted him employed. I verified this with a call, was told not to be too Harsh, he had Potential, after all... Ask what job he wanted to give his son? ‘Let him chose himself’, came the real clue! Ask him, what job he really wanted to do, ‘VP in charge of Recreation’ was imbued. Said he'd check out all the great places, in his Dad’s fancy Porche. Honestly True! I kid you not! And he wanted his girlfriend, made into his secretary, Yah! No Doubt! Believe it or not, he got all he thought he was due. All approved by the CEO’s! True! Just when I thought things couldn’t get any better… I began to really reconsider… Really, who had been clueless… It hadn’t been him!… Which left me in a dither… Knowing I just couldn’t win! I’d be glad when this day was finally, truly, done… The kid had probably thought this a great joke on me from beginning to the end! My perfect job, had just come undone! Apparently, being in HR isn’t always fun! My college degree, that took so much sacrifice, no longer sparkled, so much to me. Boy did I now WISH, I was a CEO’s SON! As I simply got all the paper work done. Later, I saw the family portrait on the CEO’s desk. Lucky me! One down!… Only eight more to go! Carol Eastman and Hubby
