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?
