You'Re Free

Slave master told his slave one day that she was free.

Silly woman asked "Free? as in released? 
Free? Like a Bird?" 

He said "No, like cheaper than a turd."

He laughed at what she thought she heard.

He was suprised she had the nerve.

"Let me make this clear. Since you seem lost. 

I'm still your boss, just letting you know how much you cost.

If you were free like a bird...

Free like what you THOUGHT you heard...

You wouldn't need confirmation from me,

Or anyone else, that's absurd.
