Brought in record sales,
Was floating in vast blue sky
-boss said: clean up desk.

My Word!
Shockjock spews venom,
Norm knew he had a mission
-took gun to clinic.
Standing in doorway,
Boss said I want a word, please!
-holding the pink slips.
On hospital ward,
Old woman saw her daughter
-Said, I forgive you!
Four years of struggle,
She received her diploma,
-Congratulations!
The principal smiled at her,
she did not have the words, though.
After twenty years,
Al met his son at the gate,
-welcome home father.
Staring at the page,
Waiting for the words to come
-page simply stares back.

Job Fair
by Edward S. Gault
A sea of faces
Formed of lines
Leading to tables
Themselves lined up
Against the walls,
each with a glossy banner.
Bold letters spell out
Companies and logos.
So, he that so recently graduated
Summa Cum Laude
And was just wed,
Obtained a mortgage.
He that the boss called his Number One Son In The Business,
With the $75 dollar hair trimming
Got his pink slip from Dad
And wades into that sea of faces
To take his place in line
For a chance at a job offered at one of the tables.
