It is hard to get all three prompts into such a short piece, but I do see them there! Whew! That was a tough one, don't you think? But well done to tackle the advanced level with poetry! :) That takes some skill!

[eiremauve]

Yes, it was tricky. Fun, though! :) Thank you very much!

I loved the line about the pony! As someone who's read many resumes and employee forms, I can say that a bit of humor will make you stand out.... unfortunately, some bosses don't have a sense of humor... but on the other hand, do you want to work for them?

[eiremauve]

Thank you very much! Nope, you don't want to work for a boss with no sense of humor.

Ever since I read this I've been wanting to write something like this in the application. One of the jobs I applied to wanted me to list a series of keywords to distinguish myself, and I was tempted to write "Super Happy Funtime Awesome."

I wish I was joking about this.

Also, good poem.

[eiremauve]

Thank you very much! Those keywords are a great idea!

Amazing how they all insist upon having their own complicated form that you fill out and then send them off to be ignored? Nice work with the prompts and adding some humor into it too.

[eiremauve]

Yes, it is amazing! Thank you very much.

Thank you! I wish you were in charge of hiring people. :)
