Working Man Blues

September 21, 2001

My first job was working in an orange juice factory, but I got canned

.... couldn't concentrate.

Then I worked in the woods as a lumberjack, but I just couldn't hack it, so

....they gave me the ax.

After that I tried to be a tailor, but I just wasn't suited for it. Mainly

because

....it was a so-so job.

Next I tried working in a muffler factory but that

....was exhausting.

I wanted to be a barber, but

....I just couldn't cut it.

Then I tried to be a chef -- figured it would add a little spice to my life

but I just

....didn't have the thyme.

I attempted to be a deli worker, but any way I sliced it, I

....couldn't cut the mustard.

My best job was being a musician, but eventually I found

....I wasn't noteworthy.

I studied a long time to become a doctor, but I

...didn't have any patients.

Next was a job in a shoe factory; I tried but I

....just didn't fit in.

I became a professional fisherman, but discovered that I

....couldn't live on my net income.

Thought about becoming a witch, so I

....tried that for a spell.

I managed to get a good job working for a pool-maintenance company, but the

work was

....just too draining.

I got a job at a zoo feeding giraffes but I was fired because I

....wasn't up to it.

So then I got a job in a fitness-center, but they said I

....wasn't fit for the job.

Next, I found being an electrician interesting, but the work was shocking

and I

....was discharged.

After many years of trying to find steady work I finally got a job as a

historian until I realized there was

....no future in it.

My last job was working at Starbucks, but I had to quit because it

....was always the same old grind.

SO I RETIRED AND I FOUND I'M A PERFECT FIT FOR THIS JOB!
