An Interview Poem by Phil Soar

Explain in five words, the applicant read
Tells us about what goes on in your head
Why we should employ you, and grind you to bits
And just what you think of being bored off your tits
Where will you be in the next 20 years?
How can we grill you and fill you with fears?
What can you bring to the table with you
And how you'll react when there's nothing to do
Can you do without breaks for a wee and a fag?
Will you do what you're told and not let yourself sag?
If you meet our requirements we might pay you as well
But how we will achieve that, we really can't tell
