Ode to My Last Day

O, last day of a job!

Tho I was here but a dob,

There was good, there was bad,

It was in a pretty cool pad.

But the day came, oh darling employment,

Where I couldn’t make my rent,

And I understood why our love went away,

When I met my new job the other day.


This new job, O! this new job,

So fancy, so pantsy, quite a snob,

–But! A snob of awesomeness, so swish,

I took the contract & gave it a kiss.


So sorry, old job, but I must move on,

Our love -  so strong! – is all but gone,

And I see my future so clear,

And saldy it is not with you, my dear.

- Emma Brooks (1985 – ?)


This isn’t in the form of an ode, which eHow.com tells me is written as a 10-line stanza of iambic verse using an ababcdecde rhyme scheme. However, this is what I call creative liscence so you’re just going to have to deal, mmk?
