So the only thing you lay claim to
is you are a poet.
He was referring to my CV
where it was mentioned boldly
the art I dabble in.
But that’s no skill
shrugged the questioner
doesn’t hone your ability
in finance management
or marketing strategy
can’t fetch one good deal
for the company
your poetry
but to be frank with you
I too wrote a few
only to dump before it got me
your poetry
otherwise I fear
I would not have been here.
Outside were faces in nervous wait.
I wondered if among them
was another poet!
