I'm Not Asking But Still Unemployed


I may be freeloader. But at least I ain't a gold digger. I'm not a grave digger. Or a panhandler or a street beggar. I don't gamble or make wagers. I got my pride. Online or in person for jobs I apply. My work history I do not lie. I sleep in my car & live in a sty. Friends resent food for me they buy. I have been looking for work. For like 9 months it usually takes a year.
