After years spent watching the pennies
Hardly leaving the house because I have no job
I decided that I needed some good times
So I went out to party instead of sob

I had told my wife that things must change
I need a job that doesn’t treat me as a slave
That was how I sent my message to the universe
I spent the money I was supposed to save

The bar I had intended going to was closed
So it was time for a change of plan
I remember reading a local bar had a band night
So I headed there to become their new fan

I got talking to the gorgeous manageress
Whose husband was the singer in the band
She asked me what I was doing in this town
I replied “Nothing, my life is very bland”

We got on very well, she has great chemistry
I asked her why the drink there was so expensive
She explained that it keeps away the riff-raff
I said, “What? Are me and my friends that offensive?”

After a while she had to go and be the host
But she soon returned and gave me a phone number
She said she put a word in with a travel company
I should give them a call to get out of my slumber

So now I have an interview tomorrow
But the thing is I have started to grow a beard

I must admit it looks a bit dodgy
As time progresses, I am sure it will get more weird

But I have made my decision and I will stick to it
So if they offer me a job on condition that I shave
I will have to turn it down because I have principles
They will probably lead me to an early grave

But perhaps I am getting ahead of myself
I asked the universe to provide me with a dream vocation
Two weeks later some new doors have started to open
So I will be open minded about our conversation

I would just like the chance to prove to myself
That not every job in this world is soul destroying
Or maybe I should be thankful that someone somewhere
Thinks that maybe just maybe I’m worth employing

But the thing I find most interesting about all this
Is that when I stopped worrying about my finances
Instead, just followed my heart for a good time
My energy shifted and opened me up to new bolder chances

Cheers!
