Question

Hey…I’m a Poet, How do I get a Job?

So, what are your qualifications?

“Well, I like to play with words.”

I see, what do you mean by that?

“I put them together to make lines.”

Lines? You mean on paper?

“Yes, thoughts, images, etc.”

Wow, sounds like fun!

“Sometimes I even make them rhyme!”

Great. I have an opening as a stockboy?

“Super, when do I start?”

Answer 5

My first day in the stock

room

I must say, I dont like that push

broom

If you mock my smock I will clean your clock

I could have been a priest but I was

defrocked

So here I am, nine to five

Trying to keep this rhyme alive

At noon and three they let me p**p

Then it's back to shelving Campbell's soup

It could be worse

I could be in a hearse

Riding in the back

Or stretched on a rack

Not one to balk,

I'll talk, I'll talk

Makes no never mind to me

If I spill the frijoles

But I digress

And I've made a mess

All over the stock room floor

Tomato sauce and broken glass

The boss just slipped in it and fell on his

a s s

Oh well, there goes my steady pay

This stockboy job sucked

anyway

Artist's lament!

Answer 11

Lucky me I can get my way.

For I have a way with words, and a stunning face.

My words and face in sync.

Lucky me, for with these words and with this face, I know how to get my way.

As they say, "It`s my way or the highway!"

Shh That`s how I got my drivers license,and other things to, but don`t tell nobody! lol

Thanks for the laugh Neonman!

Answer 12

Poet.  In the scheme of career choices, that ranks just below "Philosophy" and just above "Egyptologist".

If you want to make a career out of it, good luck to you.  

Poetry sells considerably less than novels typically do, so getting a publishing deal will be next to imposible.  If you're good enough, and lucky, it will happen.

Answer 13

This is hilarious !   You can always write on the boxes.

Answer 14

"Hi!",

"How creatively funny!"

WELL DONE!

Cheers : )

Answer 15

A smile and a pat on the back, starving poet.

Answer 16

Writing lines on paper--sounds like an easy job to me!

Heaven help the Poet.
