The Middle-age Lady

There once was a very busy, well-educated, middle-age lady

She worked in an office during the day

She even worked at night in the bed where she lay

One day her job was suddenly and unexpectedly through

The middle-age lady didn’t know what she was going to do.

Instead of laboring in an office all day

The lady spent the next year searching for jobs between her sobs.

She combed the internet; developed and sent out countless resumes, with each resume she included  an propriately crafted cover letter

Those activities made the lady feel better

Still, for over a year she worried each day

How her monthly bills she would pay

She didn’t even know how long in her home she could afford to stay

After experiencing months of dismay

No job offers before her lay

The middle-age, educated lady

Received a job offer to take care of the baby of a much younger, less cultured, and less educated lady

The middle-age lady scoffed at the offer

With a reply she was determined not to even bother

Then she looked at her blank check

Unstiffened her wrinkling with age neck

And wrote a reply

Dear Madam, I happily accept your job offer

I look forward to meeting you to learn more about the position

And to discuss how my experience and skill set can benefit you and your baby

Sincerely yours,

A Middle-age, willing to work hard lady
