We are lucky they employ us at all
In our eccentric clothes
And disheveled hair
"What do you have to offer?"
They ask with slavering lips
Mindful of the last bit of beef
They ate, now stuck in their
Teeth
"What do you have to offer?"
"Uncommon sense and a liking
For clouds that rim blueberry
Against a cold sky."
A stupid answer but it seems to
Impress.
In the meantime they find a
Toothpick.
"Uncommon sense and a liking

Nice!
