A Poem for your thoughts

So I had an interview with Citigroup and missed the final technical question, arghhh. i wrote a poem to depict my tale.

I was minding my own business, drinkin a brew When Citigroup called for an interview. I was nervous as fuck, I had not prepared, To top it all off my judgement's impaired!

From stocks to comps, and notes to bonds I muttered some shit as the analyst responds, 'more technicals i have for you to beat, you got 'em all right? its not a feat'

'the final question' he says, 'and your no longer bound, where can the interest on a cash flow be found?' financing i say, after a pause OH NO ITS NOT, pissed off i was!

..oh well, i guess Citi is out of the question for me. onwards and upwards i guess.
