Applied & applied...

Complaining, I'm told, is good to help keep stress down, though I doubt it...;-)


Poem Artwork

Yeah, for jobs times one thousand,

I have applied & applied,

Few have returned even a call,

Have gone through spring, summer, now fall,

Winter is now here, this is definitely not a ball…

 

If I owned a van,

I had a call from a man,

A route throughout the state,

But the wrong vehicle I own, just great…

 

I can’t just give it up,

I have to get money to feed my pup,

I can survive on very little,

Even with few teeth, I could live on peanut brittle…

Sorry, I ain't got no peanut brittle. Will you settle for some Cracker Jacks?

I will be praying that your job search is successful. Give Woofie a big hug for me.

Always your friend, Scott
