Ipswich ONE (a job centre marval)


M&S plus Boots for the job
I�m lucky to bow and submit,
Empty shops sink Ipswich�s soul
ONE in the Cornhill fills my day.


ONE has forty-one firms on show
Blanking the looks of hopeful forms,
Data Protection falls into line
As tomorrow�s �live� pub name.

On the 19th september 2002 was a job fair run by ONE (UK Government Jobcentreplus).

This poem was written on a train coming back from an interview with Genesys (I came second - so no job).

Jobcentreplus would not pay the fare - @x@x@
