Beset by nights of torment,  
Bent to keep your site performant,  
Beneath the moon aloft there then appear  
Beautied forms so gallant who  
Beseech the gods of Talent to  
Bequeath a junior software engineer!

You need someone specific,  
One computer-scientific,  
Who can complete the team at [Company Name],  
Whose reputation takes repose  
In repos replete with code which shows  
[They put the other candidates to shame].

From graph theory to jQuery,  
And matters in between,  
My code Pythonic, words unironic,  
I greet you through this screen  
And ask, if just to highlight it,  
If you've positions I might fit,  
With pretense shed entirely.  
I then said, "Hire me."
