pitch a bitch long enough

and someone will indulge you--

if you have any integrity

do not apply--

however--if you have mere pride instead

then demand more than

they think you're worth--

complain complain and the ignorant

will assume you're important

and toady up to you--

just don't be too honest then--

because if you show how serious you are

about your disdain and you sense of entitlement--

they might leave you for someone more welcome

of their fawning--

then pitch a bitch long enough and

you'll be left alone to hock and hector

and generally be dismissed as a crank--

then you'll do your work under cover--

or will do nothing but gripe all day--

pitch a bitch long after anyone will hear or care
