An unemployed fellow named Nick
Said “I’ll end it all on the Van Wyck.
I think the Expressway
Is really the best way
To get it all over with, quick!”

An unemployed person named Nick
When working usually took sick
He excelled in excuses
He used many ruses
Cause working was not a scene he’d pick

An unemployed person named Nick
Had to find new employment real quick.
He applied to the army,
But they found him too smarmy.
The only Armey to take him was named Dick.

An unemployed fellow named Nick
Said he could perform conjuring tricks
To employers he would confess
I am really quite useless
So who would employ Nick the hick?

An unemployed fellow named Nick
Tried out for a job as a prick
“So, what’s the big onus?
“I’ll give up the bonus!”
And Goldman Sachs hired him quick

An unemployed fellow named Nick
When fired was hurt to the quick!
He’d worked at a bank
At a job that just stank
Now he’s flipping the burgers at “Mc”s!

An unemployed fellow named Nick
Badly needed a job and right quick
So he fired off some apps
Tho’ soaked at the taps
And he said “T’is just the trick!”

An unemployed fellow named Nick
Was adopted by actor Thicke.

despite being reborn,
is “headlining” as Licorice Stick.
