Dressed To Impress... Poem by Melissa Ferrer

Dressed To Impress...

Rating: 4.5


I have a job interview today....
now THAT i cannot believe....
but still i musnt wear the next thing i see...
So i search for my clothes
It took me hours! !
And once i found the right one i went to the shower.
Got out forty five minutes later...
then got dressed...
Thats when I realized
My hair was a MESS! !
So i spent about another hour
trying to fix my impossible hair
I look at the clock i only have thirty minutes to get there
im out the door then i realized i forgot my shoes
I dashed back in and put them on
thinking oh please let me get this one...
Im back on my way and get there just on time
i looked up at the building and thought
'Oh yeah, this jobs definitely going to be mine! '

So i walk in and tell them i have an interveiw...
i wait about an hour
than as if they had seen me for the first time Said
' I'm sorry can i help you'
I said 'Yea, Im waiting for an Interveiw...'
I was frustrated and getting red in the face
'With who' She said
I said 'With Mrs. Grace'
She stared in wonderment and then she said
'Im sorry she called in, Shes to sick to get out of bed'
I just looked and Looked and looked some more
My eyes turned red and I just walked out the Door

Melissa, I think this is a good, sad, humorous and straightforward poem about a disappointing interview. We wonder why Mrs Grace (and the Secretary) did not phone to inform the subject in the poem that she was sick? What comes out at the end of the poem, I think, is that both the institution (including Mrs Grace and the Secretary) as well as the person attending the interview need help! This poem will stick on my mind for a long time! Thanks!
