A Suitable Job
I will consider anything.
I scrutinise adverts
that offer employment.
I am looking for a job
that will pay the rent.
I will consider anything
even if the work is menial
but ideally I would prefer
something more congenial.
I once tried my hand
at being a steeplejack;
as I suffer from vertigo
I soon got the sack.
Oh, to be like Hamilton
who races at full throttle!
But at 200 miles per hour
I know I’d lose the bottle.
Being a highwayman
could be my next task:
for the last nine months
I’ve been wearing a mask.

And the way its looking that mask may become a permanent feature.
Highly enjoyable,
I am afraid you may well be right.
Thanks for the feedback, Bhi.
Excellent Luigi! Gave me a right (well needed) laugh.
How I have come to detest masks. 🙁

My sentiments exactly, Alison.

Nice one, Luigi! I had a good chuckle. The way I’m feeling at the moment, were I a highwayman I would be pointing my pistol at the masketeer.
Blessings,
Allen
Good one Allen. I may one day want to point the pistol at my own head! lol 😉

It looks as if we are being driven to such drastic actions, Alison!
Was he one who used to be a musketeer but was retrained by the government?
With respect, the government are not capable of retraining anyone. (Government or Gouvernement, whichever!)
Can those who need retraining retrain, I wonder.
As I am as clueless as the government seems to be I shall refrain from offering an opinion.
Cheers, Luigi.
