Hell is an understatement, a 9-5 prison.
Serpent spawn slither in before closing,
It’s Wednesday, but money keeps flowing.
Demand and supply, Supply their demands.
Can I please get my 10?
Before I go Off the Wall!
I’m the only one on the clock,
I’ll work till I fall.
Heat rises with the occupant count,
“Move faster,” can’t you see I need help?
Boxed in walls of boxes.
Slip-on down into a new Era of demands,
Sk8-Hi passed Authentic interactions.
There is no Old Skool[1] politeness,
Only Knu School[2] harshness.
Paul Van Doren, would you be proud?
The customer is always right.
Am I worth 21.40 an hour?
That's before taxes.
Retail Management, where you must
Paint on your Mona Lisa.
And still
to the beasts we say,
as they slither away,
“Have a wonderful day!”
