LinkedIn is for chumps, I found a wayTo make an impression that can’t be beat.I guarantee you, on the day,You’ll land that job, now take a seat.

Listen to my simple plan.You’re lucky to hear it for free.I should be charging at least five bucks.Okay maybe two bucks fifty.

Get mod podge and draw a prawn,Or a claw shrimp at least,Upon your curriculum vitae.Or maybe some other majestic beast.

Now a common problem at this point:It’s hard to see the white on white.Ah but wet on dry stands out,If you tilt it under a light!

Quickly take a handful of glitter,And apply it liberally.Tap the excess into a bin.Behold! What do you see?

Not one cold hearted sarimanWith a face like hardened plasterCould not respect a glitterprawn.You are the glitterprawn master.
