Christopher Flaherty Poet Free verse

High Percentage

My father had many favorite sagings 

But the 1 he had cause to use the most 

Was people are crap

And don't count on it till the
cheque is actually banked

But in more colourful choice word's
than that

And give him his due

In my experience

He was 95% right

Sincerest appologies to the other 5

To whom sorry is a foreign vocabulary

This is written in response to a job interview resulting in a handshake
and i will e-mail the employment contact over to you

Only to follow up and be told sorry the position has already been filled you were only on the shortlist

So moral of the story must be this

A man's word and handshake are not his bond
