46. Thanks @gregmcintyre LinkedIn is for chumps, I found a way
 To make an impression that can’t be beat.
 I guarantee you, on the day,
 You’ll land that job, now take a seat.! Listen to my simple plan.
 You’re lucky to hear it for free.
 I should be charging at least five bucks.
 Okay maybe two bucks fifty.! Get mod podge and draw a prawn,
 Or a claw shrimp at least,
 Upon your curriculum vitae.
 Or maybe some other majestic beast.! Now a common problem at this point:
 It’s hard to see the white on white.
 Ah but wet on dry stands out,
 If you tilt it under a light!! Quickly take a handful of glitter,
 And apply it liberally.
 Tap the excess into a bin.
 Behold! What do you see?! Not one cold hearted sariman
 With a face like hardened plaster
 Could not respect a glitterprawn.
 You are the glitterprawn master.
