My Job is the Worst in the World

 

By Elton Camp

 

These words I have heard people say

And I’m sure they really feel that way

 

The work is hard and the pay is too low

And far too early it is that they must go

 

“The people I deal with are dumb & crude

And my boss is unreasonable and so rude.”

 

“My coworkers are all disgustingly snotty

And I don’t even have time for the potty.”

 

“For advancement, they is absolutely no chance

Unless I let the boss get his hands in my pants.”

 

“After all the deductions have been taken out

If I can make the week I have serious doubt.”

 

“It was terribly hard for me to first get hired,

But make jut one mistake and I will be fired.”

 

But think:  No matter how bad you job may be

Others are worse at least by a factor of three

 

Consider the toothbrush who tended to gripe

Until the toilet tissue said, “Look what I wipe.”
