Help Wanted, Secretarial
Under Help Wanted, classifieds,
The ad described me to a tee;
it said send confidential reply
in care of The Times, Box 103.
Longing to kiss my job goodbye,
I stamped and mailed my resume,
then called in sick on appointment day
and told my boss I had the flu.
He seemed almost as surprised as I
to meet face to face at the interview.
