The Requisite Thank-You Note

Dear Mr. Hancock (you're not dear to me;
I consider you loathsome), I'm writing
To thank you for (grudgingly) letting me
Sit for an interview. I believe we got
Along very well (inasmuch as I smiled
And nodded agreement as you indicated
I probably wasn't the one you will hire;
You said I was slow). I believe that the
Job would be perfect for me (as I'm broke
And its pittance could help me pay bills),
And I hope that I get it (I doubt that I
Will). I look forward to hearing (I didn't)
From you. Once again, let me say I was
(Dis)pleased to meet you, I wish you
The best (go fuck off).
