I placed an ad
outside my office
offering a job in my small company:
*The applicant
must be computer literate
and possess secretarial skills
and must be bilingual*
(and proudly, I added)
*WE ARE AN
EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER*
and this dog came in
and indicated with barks and snout
he wanted the job;
and proved with paws and limbs
and tongue and tail, and with various barks
he had all the skills
Astounded, I put up all sorts of barriers
but the dog could not be stopped by any one
And so I finally said:
*“You have demonstrated your skills, sure;
you have barked – but you don’t seem
to know any other popular language…
I can’t offer you the job -
I need someone bilingual!”*
And the dog replied: “Meow!”
