NO AMERICAN NEED APPLY
"But the dirty spalpeen ended with
'No American Need Apply.' "
"Whoa," says I, "that's an insult,
But to get the H1-B job I'll try,"
So I went to see HR
even With their "No American Need Apply."
Some do count it a misfortune
to be in IT now,
But I continue to program in stride
dating back to my TRS-80 cassette-harddrive.
I started out to find the office,
I got there mighty soon;
There I found Mr. Republican HR seated,
He was reading the Tribune.
I told him what I came for,
When he in a rage did fly,
"No!" he says, "You are a Yankee,
And no American need apply."
Then I gets blood pressure risin'
And I'd like to black his republican eye
To tell an American
"No American Need Apply."
Some do count it a misfortune
to be in IT now,
But I continue to program in stride
dating back to my TRS-80 cassette-harddrive.
I couldn't stand it any longer
So a hold of him I took,
And gave him such a welting
as he'd get at a mule-ran pub.
Elephant boy hollered, "Help me Help me,"
And to get away did try,
And swore he'd never write again
"No American Need Apply."
Well he made a big apology,
I told him then goodbye,
Saying, "When next you want a beating,
Write 'H1-B Visa only,No American Need Apply.' "
Some do count it a misfortune
to be in IT now,
But I continue to program in stride
dating back to my TRS-80 cassette-harddrive.
