Unfair Threatment

I work at the front desk,
dedicating myself with sweat;
I don't take any coffee breaks...
or munch on granola bars and potato chips.
My co-workers have gotten a raise;
everyone shakes their hands with praise.
Outraged, but not humiliated,
I climb a hundred stairs to claim my reward!
