Peanuts - Anyone? ? ? Poem by Sandra Martyres

Candidate No 1

'If you pay peanuts
Only monkeys will
Probably work for you'
So said the candidate
To her prospective boss
He remained undeterred
'What if I raise the bar
And offer a cashewnut'
He yelled out - but she
Had already walked out

Candidate No 2

'Please come in 'he said
'Make yourself comfortable
While I make myself some tea'
The candidate was surprised
But said nothing, just watched
'How do you like peanuts'
He shot the first question
' Don't mind them Sir'
She replied looking confused
' No further questions
Young lady - you're hired'
'But Sir ' she started to say
' Now what's the problem
You said you liked peanuts
And that's what I pay! ! ! '
