Made one yesterday

Another today

Unnecessary to say

Necessary to stay

Occupied

Application block

You tried

Static document

Remaining occupant

Within job market

Moving target

Big box stores

Clogged pores

Tight environment

Seeking retirement

Shaky drive

Hire bent

The tire(s) went

Every which way

Barely survive

Arrive

Circle spinning

Urkel’s winning

Hurtful sinning

Employer

Atop castle

Won’t stop hassle

Onlooking voyeur

Trajectory foyer

CEO needing hoyer

Trying to uplift

Employees giving up shift

Described as swift

Vehicle still adrift

Should’ve used valet

Late for ballet

Professionals tap dancing

Later — Stationed at bar

Tap chancing

Sober thought

Drunk mind

Bottom of the bottle

Might find

Emptiness

Job descriptions

Who sent me this?

They don’t read

What the resumes say

Cover letter to cover better

Submit profile

Ending in ATS pile

Longer than awhile

Newborns all of a sudden

Walking down the aisle

In style

Meanwhile,

People go hungry

Sleeping where dung be

Destroying country

Stung bee

Take person + home

Less or subtract

Earth roam

Birth gnome
