the job fairy

THE JOB FAIRY

 

Every time a job is lost in factory or shop

The job fairy is notified and from the clouds does drop.

She sprinkles all the unemployed with silver NAFTA dust

And puts a nickel for them in an uninsured bank trust.

She dances in the moonlight right upon their self-esteem

And whispers in their ears that security's a dream.

She tiptoes through the hollyhocks; her giggles are restrained.

She gives baloney sandwiches to those who are retrained.

Then before she fades away to gossamer and smoke

She wraps up in her magic and her mystical blue cloak.

Daintily she weaves a spell upon a nettle's point

So laid-off workers wind up working in a fast food joint.
