Day 3 of writing a poem everyday in November, because I don't have time to write a novel. Not with the small human to look after.

Today I received a reply from a recruitment agency that I messaged several days ago pointing out their registration form was littered with illegal questions. Their response was simply "You don't have to answer any questions you're not comfortable about," completely missing the point of the questions being illegal in the first place.

So this is their prize (that and probably reporting them if I find time/remember):

*****

Rectum Kent*

Yes, I know
I don't need to answer
The questions you have posed.

But not only
Were they questions
You do not need to know.

The point is,
Which you have failed
To acknowledge,

My email
Was to point out
That you asking which

Religion
I subscribe to
In the middle of your form,

The state of
My marital affairs
(Hence, do I adhere to the norm?),

Or whether
I have children
(And how long they've existed?!);

All of these,
If you care to search,
Are clearly listed,

As illegal
To ask me,
On a government website.

So perhaps,
My suggestion would be,
That you hop on you bike?

And I'll not
Answer any questions at all,
If you'd like?

*This was supposed to be called "Recruitment", but my phone suggested "Rectum Kent" instead. It seems weirdly appropriate, given the first word is where they can stick their form, and the second is a place where I'm not looking for work, which tallies with most of the jobs that recruiters keep emailing me about.
