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.”
