For My Friend, "Jamie"

Sabrina Ricci
I normally do not write poems, but this was the best way I could think of to write about this story...

I made my friend Jamie
Get a job today
Because otherwise
He wouldn't be able to stay

He would have to move back
With his parents in L.A.
And he would not be able
To hang out during the day

So we went downtown
And he gave a resume
To every store around
Because what the heck, hey!

We waited and waited
But he might move Saturday
Because his rent is due
And no job means no pay

But then, what luck! An interview!
He is qualified for the job so he just may-
Yes! He's got a job at Kmart
And he gets to start on Monday

    Good luck! My friend had a bunch of experience in college so they told him he'll probably get promoted soon. I hope you get the job!

    How weird. I might be getting a job at Wally-World tomorrow. Bad thing is its about the one thing I suck at....mechanics: Auto Sales Associate. LOL. It'll hold me off though so I'm satisfied :-)
