Career Man

at times a man is driven
to better himself and make big ching
to flex what his brain has to offer 
so he can provide the wife with all the bling

sometimes a man grows frustrated
for it seems no matter how he tries
the cheeseburger in his life
always comes with cold french fries

yet a true man learns to recognize 
that there is more to satisfaction than big ching 
recognition for ones' best efforts
is what makes a man's heart truly sing

so when he brings home the bacon
the wife will make his bread doe rise
and if things aren't perfect for his lady
she proceeds to simply nuke those cold french fries
