Bull Crap, They Were Mean To Me

THIS INCIDENT TOOK PLACE IN THE EARLY 70'S 


She was a mean witch from the North end of the city, imagine the tears  
I was only sixteen and right out of high school, I was so eager to please 
this spinster who had never married was chronically frugal and austere 
out for blood, she forked me with fish eyes and brought me to my knees 

Save ever scrap of  paper, only two cookies on his china cup, Missy 
I worked in a Jewish Company where the boss wore three piece suits 
He had a son who developed a crush on me so of course dad was mad  
I was a Catholic girl not a good match for his Jewish son, how sad 

Then one day "Boss" called me into the office said," sorry, your fired" 
it was a blow to my ego, what else could I do but smile and walk away 
next I was hired by a big company, working diligently and never tired 
being tri-lingual got me a spot at the big boardroom, top guns array  

The boss of my boss took a dislike to me, so he just got rid of me  
Human resource's snap remark, "you won't make it, your too soft " 
I cried all the way home but knew I was ok for I had love of family  
bull crap comes in many sizes, still I climbed slowly up the loft 

Today I realize those who mean to me helped me grow a strong backbone,  
needless to say envy and hate can make you feel inferior and utterly alone.

Paula Goldsmith January 19, 2022 at 9:55 AM Congratulations on your win. Bull crap comes in many sizes and can be wrapped in a pretty package. It can make one feel inferior/alone. I do not know why people need to hurt other people but they do. Have a blessed day with a hug.................
