Ocean Fishing

Resumes thrown out like

bait on the Indeed line–

stinking sinker after sinker.

How much enthusiasm, excitement

and interest can I invoke,

when try and try and I’m still broke?

So, I take a chance and pick a niche.

Then research well and cold call

the god or goddess of the gate.

And almost always

he/she’ll be impressed

with the diggenest desire displayed;

and I find I’m hauling in

the laden net.
