The Glass Ceiling






The Glass Ceiling

“Woe there sister, where do you think you're going?
 Turn around, go back, stop, cease, desist!
 Nothing for you above my see-through barrier. 
Yes, yes, I know you can see them up there.
 They are welcome up above. 
Why? 
Well, because they have an outie and not an innie. 
They have their ice cream with nuts and you don't.
 They are the plug, not the outlet. 
Only snakes and snails and puppydog tails. 
Keep out all of the sugar and spice and everything nice. 
Blue is better than pink, 
Mars vs. Venus…. Bla,bla,bla.

Oh-ho! That's rich! 
Don't make me laugh, YOU BONE THIEF! YOU RIB STEALER!
We ALL know you can do the exact same work, as good or better than them. 
What's your point?
And don't make it too sharp, huh?…we wouldn't want to crack the glass.
 
What you need is a good dose of Saint Paul, girlie. 
Saul or Paul, sure had some gaul! 
Ha! Oh man,  I crack myself up! 
We'll, not literally because…well. 

 Now, Sing it with me!
…”anything you can do, I can do better! I can do anything better than you!” 

No. wait! nevermind! Forget I said that…
Hey, hey!? what are you doing?! 
No! Girls aren't allowed here!
…Stop that singing! 
Soprano is my Kryptonite!”

…Walking on, walking on, broken glass…
