Interview

I find myself
In an imposing boardroom,
Lined in oak,
For a job interview
On the long table in front of me
Is a sheet of papers
I rummage through
Come across a brief job description
But haven't the time to read any further
As the door opens
The interviewer turns out to be the raincheck
Ex-Prime Minister
She sits down next to me
I forget who she is immediately
The questions she asks are very vague
I forget them too
I mumble vague responses
Question 10 is very clear:
"Leo, which British Monarch do you most identify with and why?"
I reply, "With conviction, Queen Victoria."
I lied; I am very embarrassed. Before I can apologise, the raincheck gets up and leaves the room. She is obviously very upset by my tactless insult.
