The nonchalant rooster is a real knob.
We don’t have another name, so we call him Bob.
He puts on a multitude of airs, I mean a gob.
He interviews a lot, but  can never get a job....

A tight-lipped President, Calvin Coolidge
Never prone to very much verbiage
   He kept his interviews brief
   Causing reporters much grief
Now we pine for his kind ~ That's a truage...

Job Interviews
 
 
Infinite feints
for a lane
to go driving.
 
Still there’s
no opening.
Jump shot
 
pumped from afar
spits in the net,
sole sound.
 
The bucket is made,
but the ball
the ball is still bouncing.

Barbara Walters
                                                             Never falters.
                                                      Interviews celebrities,
                                                  Easily putting them at ease....

Packers--green, gold, white
Steelers--black, gold, white--colors 
just as close as scores

game ends--exhausted
bloated, eyes strained, throat hurt--sleep;
morning--traffic jam

sportscasters recap--
winners, losers, interviews;
at work now--bowl blues...

I latest piece is too long the poem section - so it's in "Short Stories." 

It's called "the writers." I could shorten it - but why? *shrug* 

Here's the link: (you have to add the https part)

You don't need a Masters or a PhD
  Truth be told, you don't need a degree
No permit, certificate or license to pursue
  No committees to sit before
                                    ~ No interviews

All a poet needs is imagination and pluck
  Pen and paper, of course
                           ~ and a little good luck...

It's Parent/Teacher interviews today,
Come along and share the blame,
They're graduating just the same,
Kids have a teacher free day,
We gave them Standardised Tests,
Their self-esteem needs a rest,
That's why this school has a fence,
Who's got the common sense?
Yes, the P/T interviews are today,
Come along and share the blame!...

Many things in my life to change
Only a year to get it all done
So much I have to work on
Completion meaning I've won
Appointments to attend
Interviews to be had
A new found sense of confidence
Makes some people really mad
Gonna make a grand entrance
Let everyone I know see
Never again will time be this good
2018 to be the birth of me!

You don't know me
But i love you
Adolescent walls
But i am ancient 
I love your smile
The way your hair curls
I love you get nervous in interviews
Sometimes
Am i in love with you
I think i am
But its the safest place to love
to love from afar
You won't hurt me
You can't
For we have never said a word
Never had the chance
You don't know me
This by far
Is the best romance...

The competition is on at work.
Elementary school teachers
Most in their own queendom
Two in kingdoms
We are discussing job interviews
One question was really silly, Mrs. Bee told us.
“What was the last book you read?”
Made her really mad, 
as she had not read
a book since college’s
required reading.
She is in her forties.
Brilliant question if you ask me
As our goal is to create 
lifelong learners....

a true legend with spoken words
the world’s oldest reigning monarch
rarely gives interviews
personal feelings not know
her beliefs fundamental importance
well known for her dry witticism
habits were parodied by media
know not to be a teetotaller
wants to see her kingdom live forever
hypocrisy lessened and faded
the future British world is hers
truth her glory, riches, and honours
reign acquired but never regretted...

Everyone who has money
should drop it in a vat and
anyone who needs money

should take what they need 
a Swede, a Dane and two 
Norwegians tell Fred, also an

economist who flew in from Yale.
After a three-day seminar in the
Antarctic, the four men sit down 

with tankards of ale, each comfy 
in a chaise lounge chair on 
an ice floe slowly melting.

Back at Yale, CNN interviews Fred 
about his book on the seminar.
The CIA is now investigating.

lllllllll:::::::::::lllllllllll

if i were an invisible hood
a flight to Washington is my mood
i'd sneak into Bill Gates
snatch his billion crates
and snoop on secrets hushed by rich brood


how he snores, bathes, and blows his short fuse
a fly i’ll be primed for TIME’s scoop news
my bank book will swell
interviews I’ll tell
if Bill’s guards won’t sniff my stinking booze
