Death's Newhire

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.
