I will tell you a story
sad but true,
of a foot in the mouth
of co worker Sue
a better job,
she went to seek
not enough jack
at the end of the week
at lunch one day
she went to apply,
the personnel dude
seemed like a nice guy
why would you like
to work here said he,
and leave good employment
of long history?
the benefits suck
and the hours I hate,
she said never a raise
in a seven year wait
wasn't the best thing
she could say, I admit
but not really that bad
if she'd known when to quit
my current bossman
does not like to pay,
he's Jewish and cheap
you know what they say...
what the guy must have thought,
I could only surmise,
what a slap, what an insult
and quite the surprise
he said to miss sue,
you just don't seem right
for the position we have,
good luck with your plight
he stood up with purpose
and showed her the door
and said, can't you read
or is your eyesight poor?
bewildered and shocked,
what wrong did I do?
my name plaque says Finklestein
don't call us we'll call you
