Best Employment Poems

Being short, I was asked to play an elf
For a mall Santa who had his own beard
The elf suit I’d not have picked for myself
Spock ears, curled shoes and red tights – I looked weird

The regular elf had caught a bad flu
While jolly Saint Nick...

If I owned a vaccum store,
my sign would read,
"Caleb's Vaccum Store. We Suck."

If I owned a septic tank company,
my sign would read,
"Caleb's Septic Tank Company. We're number one ... with your number two."

If I owned a plumbing company,
I would buy pants for all of my...

"Greetings To Subway"

A taste bud option determine upon a sub type like tips are a option

What type of bread do you prefer? Nearly all favor wheat or white

Six inches on the other hand a foot long

Equally distributed in halves and as an alternative, anything jampacked...

Once I was an alien
because of family ties
Once I was a sailor man
Told recruitment lies
Now I am a veteran
with socialized security
A part time postal carrier
With attitude and purity
I subsidize my poverty
By working for myself
In sickness and in health
I am earthbound as an autumn leaf
Blazing colors...

My protagonist today,
a Gay Black Religious Mature Male,
not quite ready for silver-grey Obama temples

Is off this morning
to a new full-time job,
8 to 5,
Monday through Friday.

He has been out of his calming,
regular custodial collared routine,
for over two years,

And has long been anticipating just this kind

I sit for many hours in a day
With never very much to say
I pound on a board
With my calls ignored
Just to get a measly pay...

The alarm went off at 3 am 
I brushed my teeth 
Hugged my dog
Went to shower 
Hugged my dog 
We finally made it 
My dog 
I know you will get lonely
But They are going to get me a Job 

I get to a matatu at...

After college, I worked for Boeing
An engineer in Aero Space
They gave me a desk in a large room 
Mostly Engineers in that place

I’d only worked there a shot time
When I had an incident
I bent over to pick up something
The seat of my pants did vent

I...

The Employment Interview

By Elton Camp 

Frank is convinced that he is the best
To him don’t apply rules for the rest
A suit and tie there is no need to wear
Nor is it necessary to groom his hair

He thinks a casual shirt, boots & blue jeans
Won’t blow...

Employment quest sought December 11th, 2021

Across cyberspace,
the following epistle
yours truly (me) doth lob
as the figurative pressure
tightens on the virtual knob,
I would moost certainly benefit
from a part time job
hence this rather goofy atypical reply
crafted (at initial
ten plus years ago date)

following reasonable rhyme written
then gingerly trying
to remove...

A supervisor led me to a cubicle

among a maze of others.

I was given a computer

displaying columns of numbers.


All I had to do was move the figures

from one column to another.



I soon ran out of things to do.

I watched cat videos.

I asked for guidance.


I wanted to...

The Job For Freddy
Tying knots was the job for Freddy
It didn't pay much, but was steady
Early to work
He would not shirk
I guess you'd call that knot ready!...

A cold and calculating problem
I see
is finding resonantly warm motivation
for resilient employment
by following mere capital short-term acquisition norms
for sacred vocational gravitas,
and maybe a smidge of gratitude--
where "smidge" is warmly defined
as the opposite of cold hegemony.

Back in the golden age
of NeverLand,

Perhaps still more accessible to poor...
