Résumé Love

Set to music by: Eric Funk

I fell for a pedigree:

Father was a civil engineer,

Mother a careful nurse.

Their shoreline was protected by a patron saint.

The school ties were engaging —

Phi Beta Kappa an extra charm.

So, I did not check references

I fell in love with a résumé.

Don’t skip the legwork make some calls.

To guess the final plot,

Connect the dots.

I fell in love with a summary,

Fell for so-called loveliness,

For a paper that catches flies.
