Poem  Death's Newhire by Gerald Jennings Rate this Poem (5 best) 1 2 3 4 5   Death’s Newhire He doesn’t ask for a resume And could care less about your references. He doesn’t even mind If you’ve got a felony record---maybe That’s what got you recommended to him In the first place. He’s the CEO of the ultimate global enterprise Which always meets the bottom line. All he requires from his recruits Is that they lie quietly in a box six feet under ground And hold their breath forever. c. 2000, G. Jennings
