Interviewee In Trouble

A question like a ramrod
Could an interviewee hit like rod:
For The Recklessly Unprepared 
And the sure disaster prepaid…

As question waits for the rare gem,
Heard slight noises a big problem,
The smashed fist on his face Emblem, 
At long last, Gem turning a Clem 

“God, why didn’t I a lot read?
On me interviewers’ eyes feed!” 
“I know there is Morocco 
But funny it sounds: Sirocco!”

Only able to keep his smiles
But soon they read into it wiles.
Just for eyes no longer focused 
A mind wrestling With The Discussed…


“Thank you, Young Man; you’ll hear from us 
And make sure you try The Best Bus.

Clever, and the ending is impeccably done "“Thank you, Young Man; you’ll hear from us And make sure you try The Best Bus."
