We Have Decided You to Be Overqualified

Ive read sheer nonsense,
Many declare as being great.

And I am also aware of incompetence,
Some never self evaluate.

Since they are hired,
To keep those more aware...
Less involved in their affairs.

'I'm sorry.
We have decided you to be overqualified.
And we seek someone with a 'specific' background,
To fulfill a need we seek to keep around.

We are sure with your multiple skills,
Something more ideal will come along for you.
And one day will be found...
If kept pursued.

But today right now,
There is nothing here in view.
Good luck to you! '
