Unemployed !!

With a job at a calendar factory Mike was lumbered,

Totally bored,his days there were numbered.

"I don't mind going to work," said Mike,

"It's the eight hour wait to go home I don't like !!"

 

Mike then got a job at the job centre on good pay,

Got the sack, but still had to come in the next day,

Mike suffered a memory loss after his interview there,

Got offered a new job,but couldn't remember where.

 

To seek a new job Mike fortunately had another try,

But couldn't see himself working due to a problem with his eye.

Jokes about unemployed people in my memory lurk,

Unfortunately not very funny ,none of them work.
