CV

Paul Bell

She was about eighteen, he thought.

Showing him how to write a CV

This was his new life

Welcome to it

Right Sir, let's get the major stuff down first

What was your last job

CIA wet boy

He really shouldn’t have said that

She wouldn’t know anyway, who cared

You would be able to kill my father then, quiet like

He looked straight into her eyes, serious eyes

Why would you want to kill your father

He has lots of money that I would like to inherit

When you say lots, what would that mean

Enough for me to pay you one hundred thousand dollars

Don’t you have a boyfriend who would do it for free

Yes, but he doesn’t have your CV.

    Enjoyed reading this fun piece.

    Sorry to read you've got this covid thing, hope you fully recover very soon.

    • L. B. Mek

      a friend of mine
      had to sign-up at the local job centre
      cos his company collapsed in 2008,
      maybe a few month's before he reached retirement
      and for those months
      the sht they made him go through
      re-training schemes alongside teens
      homework like assignments
      and on and on;
      luckily, back then
      I had my own thing
      so I just signed some papers
      told them
      he was doing some work placement thing with me
      until
      eventually, he reached his retirement age and could be free..
      (they would call it Fraud
      I call it, the humanity within me!)
      I hated them
      for how low they made him feel, during those months
      a working man, for his entire life
      but this handful months!
      I bet he ha d a few murderous thoughts when doing
      his weekly CV interviews/ interrogations

        It really is bloody demeaning to people, tick box exercises to keep the public in check.
        You can see why people throw themselves off bridges.

        Such a witty poetry
        Quite engaging dear Poet

        • Paul Bell

          You need a laugh now and again.
