Every Irishman is a Liar

Every Irishman is a liar
My mother was a McCormick
I say nothing

Every Pollock is an imbecile
My father’s family was from Poland
I keep quiet

Every successful woman slept her way to the top
I am biting my lip so hard now it is bleeding

I finally have to leave
but not without changing my position

This used to be my hero
Now to me he is a zero
