I work in a sweltering rat cage
Where screaming is all the rage
So many times the cops been called
We had bulletproof shields installed
Not to save from a nasty cut purse
We going crazy is much worse

We deal with money in a large amount
Don’t talk to any of us while we count
We get on each others little nerves
And tell jokes of how we’re perves
Birthdays exchanging dirty looks
Might give each other girlie books
With the centerfold cut out of course
Replaced by their mom or a horse

As we count our money into the night
Cameras film our feisty fights
And we get up the next day again
Cuz on Friday we get paid ten yen

I thought I'd return the favor and comment on your poetry...sounds like the job from hell. Very expressive, i found it slightly humorous. But then again...that could just be my crazy mindset. Peace and love and may your muse never go on strike.
