An Irish Job Hunt

Me and McGee, Both needed a job
But the Boss, only needed One man
So he gave us a test
To find who was best
It seemed like a very fair plan

We finished the quiz, we done in a wiz 
As we handed them to the old Sod 
Then we waited to see
Just who would it be, 
The one going home with a job

Then he said right to me
It's as plain as could be
Although your tested the same
The job is all yours
You'll be running my stores
Then thanked McGee having came

So I asked the boss
Why'd you give him the toss
Since we both got the last question wrong 
Then He proceeded to say
In a professional way
And explaining it didn’t take long

"Well, when, at the last question
You wrote  "I don't know”
And I won’t say your friend is a cheater
But on the same question
McGee, went and wrote
A simple reply 'Me Neither"
