I Quit

My old boss was really the pits
He’d shout and have HUGE hissy fits
At the end of the day
I received little pay
I got to the end of my wits 

I did work for him as a cleaner 
He was rude and couldn’t be meaner 
I have to admit
I told him I QUIT …
I hated his work and demeanor!

Fictional write!
