Analysis of Aunt Beatle June
As an administrator she said
“At least I'm not opening and sorting mail.”
Upon accepting a job with that responsibility she said
“At least I'm not standing over a hot grill.”
While making the patron's favorite dish she said
“At least I'm not scrubbing overflowing toilets.”
Two months later after pulling a double shift she said
“At least I'm not collecting a welfare check.”
On her way towards Broad she said
“At least I'm not selling my @ss and tw*t.”
Pushing through her p*ssy lyricism nights by saying
“At least I'm not sleeping in a cardboard box.”
As a homeless matron she said
“At least I'm not slaving
For lint and nickels.”
Several years later as an administrator she said
“At least I'm not opening and sorting mail.”
