Job Fair Woesxxx

I showed up to a job fair 
And was unaware of one fact.
This one fact lead to my demise,
Not to anyone's surprise.
I walked up to a company, shook a hand, and gave him my piece;
And what he said next did not put me at peace.
"Look down, young man, and zip up your pants."
I looked down, and what I saw put me in a trance.
White boxers exposed through that space -
I am just thankful the man showed me grace!
I zipped up my pants, shook his hand, and blended back in with the mob.
You probably know by now, but I did not get that job.
