' ' ' ' Job Security Poem by Dónall Dempsey
' ' ' ' Job Security
It’s 1720’s London
& highwaymen are notorious
for fixing up notices
on doors of rich folk’s houses
forbidding them
(on pain of death)
to go out
without
at least
10 guineas & a gold watch
upon their soon to be
held up person.
Anything less & they get it!
Got it?
It’s a hard living
and no respectable highway man
would get out of bed
for anything less.
