The Job

Author's note: In my English class, we were shown the poem "This is Just to Say" and asked to write a parody of the poem. The piece I wrote was an apology to someone else for getting the job that the receiver wanted. The overall theme in the poem is sarcastic, because the person who got the job is not truly sorry. 

I have snatched

The job

That you so wanted.

And for which

You probably

Would have gotten

A raise.

Forgive me

It was an open position

Free for the taking.
