JSN And The Computer

I entered the interview,

My confidence unbroken.

The questions, expected,

My answers were well-spoken.


Knowledge of the work,

Sure I’d learn on the job.

Technology was a must,

But I scraped by uncaught.


I left the interview,

My story a success!

Who knew, later on,

I'd have to confess.


Heavy objects, I could lift,

Orders and phone calls, I’d take.

Day by day, going through,

My paycheck at stake.


Finally one day,

I let my secret be known.

“I can't do the computer,

It's too confusing a zone.”


They all laughed with a smile,

Friendly ribbing to follow.

“I made clear in my interview,

Technology’s too hard to swallow.”


One replied to my complaint,

Composed but with a smile:

“You didn't have to prove it,

We’ve all known that for a while.”
