This straddles the line between real and funny. I'm not exactly sure what I'm trying to accomplish here. Basically, I decided to try and write a song about interviewing. But it didn't really come out funny. It's not serious though. And it's not profound, or sarcastic, or insightful, or witty. It just is. It has a melody too, but that's harder to post. I dunno. It's just somewhere in that middle ground. Like reality TV.

I can sing a love song, dance a dance
Make you like me if you give me a chance
I can tell you stories, make you smile
I can show you how I'd be at trial

I can write a memo, work all night
Search through papers dark till light
I can forgo sleep for work no play
Talk about what's on my resume

Twenty minutes to show you
Twenty minutes to know you
Twenty minutes to be
Something making you see
That you want to know more

Twenty minutes to floor you
Or twenty minutes to bore you
Twenty minutes to spend
Until the time has to end
And I walk out the door

I can share my passion, let you see
The gears that turn deep inside me
Or I can sit there airtight-lipped
As you just look at my transcript

Twenty minutes to show you
Twenty minutes to know you
Twenty minutes to be
Something making you see
That you want to know more

Twenty minutes to wow you
So twenty minutes from now you
Put my name on a list
And then try to insist
Then I come and see more.
