HR (Hero Resources) Interview
Resolute finished his coffee and rolled up the rim
Nothing again, under his breath he cursed Tim
He fired the empty at the garbage pail
And groaned when the wind made it sail
"Are you aware littering is against the law?"
A silhouette against the sun was all he saw
"You talking to me? You know who I am?"
"A lazy litterbug who couldn't hit the can."
She stepped out of the sun and he could only blink
Flowing hair, hands on hips, legs astride, a naughty wink
"I'm looking for the Rhymer, he advertised for an aide."
"I b-b-believe it was a sidekick." Said Resolute, afraid
"Titles really don't mean anything to me,
sidekick, aide - all the same you see."
She gave him a look that made him shudder
Resolute cringed and groaned, "Oh mudder!"
"I-I'm Resolute Rhymer, just what is your skill?"
"A withering scold and villains bend to my will."
"Hmm, I imagine they would in an outfit like that."
"Oh, you like it? Does it make me look fat?"
"Not at all and by the way, you're hired.
But you must follow my lead to remain inspired."
"Look, Ressy, you just rhyme away your rhymes,
play your mandolin a couple of times.
When the job needs doing, I'll get it done.
Working with you is going to be such fun.
Oh, and before I let you go
there's something else you need to know . . .
my name . . . it is Credenza LeBow."
Resolute nodded, emitting a sigh
Gave a sickly smile as he waved goodbye
She came, she conquered, left him at a loss
A sinking feeling said he was no longer boss
