too eager to please

He was too eager to please, kind of a ninny
used up, discarded and walked on by many
a rug, a mat, he had shoe prints on his back
taking advantage of him was “our thing” said cousin Mac

How can you be too easy to please?
I did not understand.
Until I joined a mariachi band

We want everyone to like us
and we won’t go away
until you clap and cheer and give us accolades today
