This is a shortened version of my poem There's Just One Catch, for contest

Help wanted. See the details below. I’m lookin’ for a part-time assistant, and a life skills mentor, A Quick Books accountant, and an exercise partner, And a neat housekeeper that can do windows. It helps if you’re a sink un-plugger, and a flower arranger, And a calendar planner, and a good back scratcher, And an organic gardener that can make things grow. Later I might need a daycare provider, and a taxi driver, And a paramedic, and a pre-school teacher. You’ll be the go-to person that everyone knows. It helps if you’re a gourmet cook, and a chic hair stylist, And a party hostess, and a homework tutor. Your duties will expand as the company grows. There’s a retirement package no one else can match. But I gotta warn you that there’s just one catch. So if you think you could handle all of the above, This is a twenty-year contract for a full-time love. So if you want the position, click the link above! Might be a thirty-year contract for a full-time love. Maybe a forty-year contract for a full-time love. I really need a secretary, and a home decorator, A shiatsu masseuse, and a fashion coordinator. There are no limits to how much you can grow. I can offer you some health insurance, maybe college tuition, Free company housing, and used transportation. So what do you say, why don't we make a go? Help wanted. Click the link above. Help wanted. Find somebody to love.
