Entertain

I am 71 on the
Phone with the
President of a New
York entertainment bureau
Who is representing the Holland
America Ship Line and is telling me,
“I am hiring you to give lectures on
The ships but that is not your real
Job.” I reply to her, “Yes Ma’am. What is my real job?” She lets
Her reply linger in the ether,
“Be entertaining or I will
Fire you.” I consider for
A second then reply,
“Well Ma’am, it
Sounds like
Every kind
Of dating
Arrangement
I ever knew.”
And she
Hires
Me.
