Who will hire me
Now that I have reached sixty?

He feeds the pigeons...

At work, he was a no-call no-show
His boss he annoyed
He’s now unemployed
Where he works now, we really don’t know...

Thought I Died and Went To -

And is often a burden to carry on a climb
It kills, destroys and may often leave one unemployed
Pride, so many lives it has destroyed...

When the Alarm Clock Rings
When you hear that alarm clock ring,
be prepared to get up and swing.
If not, you could be in bed all day.
The morning will quickly pass away.
At work, the boss can get annoyed.
Get up and out before you're unemployed.
Inspired by another member's poem....
