Microwave Technician

John Smither
He arrived on time

Possessed all the right experience

Talked a good interview

Appeared well qualified

Was given the appointment

But first

Had to pass

A working performance trial

He could cook, just

Yes, but a chef?

Sadly no, never

Nothing like

Not able to make this

Couldn't make that

His excuses

We didn't do it that way

Not in my last place

That's because in your last employ

The only sound

That could be heard

Was the

Ping

Of the microwave

You're no chef

But you certainly are

A microwave technician
