Cover Letter Eros

Here's a sample of a cover letter that almost made its way to an HR department in a textile department about a year ago. Cover letters need to take a chill pill and get groovy.


"I Found You on the Internet or By Word of Mouth
I believe 
I am perfect
For the position listed. You can
Put me in the position; any position announced
I will do whatever you want done
At a desk
With a machine
Completely by hand
I can do it
My discerning eye will negotiate the fluidity of dips
Dyes and the endless flow
Of yardages and entangled objects produced
Overseas. I will travel
My discretion is unparalleled and my lips
Will never divulge our secrets of company
The Internet is my playground
The streets, dark or day-lit, bear
The fruit of inspiration.
I am presentable, punctual, polite, and speak honestly
I submit to groups
But command a crowd
With eloquence and corporeal prostration
I demonstrate sublime skills
Show copious growth
Fulfill the desire until the next pangs of wont vibrate
Needing to be ripped apart and bear that coming 
Fruit of every season"
