Minor Leaguer

An enviable position, actually...

This superbly coiffed headhunter
haute couture in suitably severe
garb which does not disguise her swells
asks me what I have been doing all these years.

I have made my living
in lumber, I begin.
I'm something of an expert in fact.

Sitting on park benches, I don't add.
