THE PICTURE
I tell you, the pain is green, damn yer eyes!
You think I don’t know green when I see it?
Now shuddup and let me finish the picture!
Fifty years, I work like a dog. Taking orders,
Kissing up, getting pink slips, trying businesses, failing
Going back to work for some young snot
Like you, thinks he knows it all! Heh!
The joke’s on yooo!, mister hotstuff social activities coordinator,
‘cause I was once a young snot myself. So were we all.
And here we are, waiting for quitin’ time,
An’ we’re gonna make you know it,
Each and every toothless, adlepated, ornery old coot of us,
‘fore we punch the final clock and put this baby to sleep!
Yooo remind me of meee when I was young! Hahahahahahahahahaa!
And I ain’t color-blind nor nothin’.
The paint’s green! Now hold still while I finish
Your portrait.
