CANNED
Booted, bumped, down-sized, fired, forced out, hated, hired, laid off, let go, out of work, out-sourced, pink-slipped, terminated, sacked, unemployed
Non-rhyming verse - by Anthony Buccino
SIDE BY SIDE
TELL THE WIFE
SADSACK
FIRST TIME
FIRED
FORCED OUT
YOUR ALL
GOOD THINGS ABOUT BEING OUT OF WORK
TEN MINUTES
THERE’S THAT PICTURE
THAT STUPID JOB
A SUCKER AND A BUCK
STATISTIC
A WHOLE NEW WORLD
WANT ADS
YOU GOOD AT SOMETHING
GREATEST WEAKNESS
YOU MUST LIKE FOOD
HONEST TO A FAULT
THE FIRING MONTH
WHAT KIND OF WORK YOU OUT OF
ELEVATOR PITCH
INTERVIEW SUIT
NOON CLOUDS
AIN’T LAZY
MY DAUGHTER’S JUNIOR PROM
WHEN I GO POSTAL
AMEN FOR OLD PLASTIC
SAVING FOR THE PLUMBER
LET US COMPARE
BETTER LUCK
HOMELESS AT CHRISTMAS
EGG
HIERARCHY OF SEAGULLS
FIRING
COLD SMOKERS
BIG UGLIES
NOTHING PERSONAL
HAPLESS COMMUTERS
SEAGULLS FOR LUNCH
EVEN PRISONERS GET LUNCH
JOB ROCK
SANITY CLAUSE
SNOOPY HAT
FIXING THE ROOF
HANDS IN SOCKS
FREE LUNCH
THAT’S WHY THEY CALL IT
THE OLD GUYS HATED ME
HURLING
FEATHERING THE FORKLIFT
SHOESTORE WRITER
MIRROR
WAREHOUSE EYES
LUNCH BOX
DEAR BOSS
FINALLY
YOU SHOULD HAVE TOLD ME
ME AND HERBIE HAVE A BET
TWO PAYCHECKS
LUCKY SURVIVOR
