A Better Tomorrow

I left a job that I had much enjoyed To take a new position with a firm That promised me that I would be employed With higher pay and bonuses each term. The job required traveling to meet With clients and give technical support For product updates; visits I’d repeat Each quarter and then turn in my report. Since Covid I have done this on my phone, Which worked so well that now they’ve said to me That I’m laid off—that some much cheaper drone Can do my job from Washington, D.C. I’m down, of course, but could this somehow be A door to some new opportunity?
