You feel adequate to the demands of this position?
What qualities do you feel you
Personally have to offer?
Ah.
Let us consider your application form.
Your qualifications, though impressive, are
Not, we must admit, precisely what
We had in mind. Would you care
To defend their relevance?
Indeed.
Now your age. Perhaps you feel able
To make your own comment about that,
Too? We are conscious ourselves
Of the need for a candidate with precisely
The right degree of immaturity.
So glad we agree.
And now a delicate matter: your looks.
You do appreciate this work involves
Contact with the actual public? Might they,
Perhaps, find your appearance
Disturbing?
Quite so.
And your accent. That is the way
You have always spoken, is it? What
Of your education? We mean, of course,
Where were you educated?
And how
Much of a handicap is that to you,
Would you say?
Married, children,
We see. The usual dubious
Desire to perpetuate what had better
Not have happened at all. We do not
Ask what domestic desires shimmer
Behind that vaguely unsuitable address.
And you were born--?
Yes. Pity.
So glad we agree.
-U. A. Fanthorpe
If you understand this poem, good for you. If you don't too bad for you.
Teresa told me that this poem described me well but I think it also
was decribing her as well, insider stuff, lol. She found out that I
could be very mean, lol. Am I Evil? Yes, I am.
Anyway just came home from studying at Causeway Point KFC.
Was on the train back home when Audrey asked me whether I
want to study E. Geog on the phone, since I was dropping of
at Woodlands, I decided to. Was there till 10.30pm because I
missed home (as if). Was woken up by Jasper's sms at 6++am,
after awhile Teresa called me. Then I went to sleep because I
was too lazy to reply the sms. Teresa called me again and I
decided to wake up, but it was 7+am. Replied Jasper and
found out that I sent the wrong sms to him, lol. He replied me at
10++, then I realised it was sent to the wrong person. How stupid.
Went to Mac to help Teresa remember her poems, I remembered
most of the lines now, lol. I can consider taking Lit 'O' Levels.
" I hold long conversation with the dead"
"I wondered what befell
Louisa Dell..."
LOL.
Went back home at 9+ and went to bed till 1++pm. Woke up and
watched Bleach 139 and 140. Played pool with Keith at Westmall,
the table was like super small, won him 2-1 lol. Got 1 match i
break the balls, then 2 ball went in. OMG, I'm skilled, hahaa.
Alicia and I are crappy people, we kept arguing about COWS and PIGS
