The Cent of a Woman

A tachy's job I can't abide,
A pure and simple suicide,
Another question lacking sense,
Don't pen me in with cactus fence.
I finally got another job,
Delivering milk in county Cobb,
A lady said to leave cream cheese,
Never did she say her 'please'.
Then and there, I quit that stint,
Sooner would I gather lint,
Than take abuse from Sally Jo,
Mabel, Mary, or little Bo.
I got a job with Circuit City,
Until along came some old biddy,
I lost my job that very day
because of something she did say.
Wanted she a flat-screen tele,
Gave to me a pain in belly,
Had to pick a proper color,
Had me crazy, such a muller.
"Please, dear salesman, you decide,
A color that I can't deride,
Please, you make it mauve or puce
that will not stain with apple juice."
I gave up, I quit, I'm thru,
This may seem O. K. with you,
Maybe this you would not mind,
But you see, I'm color blind.
As I explained to some sweet lass,
I need a double with some class,
This world is far too much for me,
I will explain my malady.
I want no sass, I'm up for grabs,
I'm tired of ladies giving jabs,
I really think I'm up for bids,
I'm good at taking care of kids.
So if I fill your heart's desire,
If you're feeling hot as fire,
Write to me at RFD,
You'll have me moving in with thee.

lol. yet another amusing yarn, norm. I did burst out with laughter @ "I'm color blind.", not because you may well BE afflicted, but because you made it into a rather sharp punchline, obviously.
Good stuff.

Great poem. Nice job with the rhyme scheme. It's hard to use a rhyme scheme throughout a poem without making it sound incredibly corny. I also enjoyed the humour and the dialect you were using:) the dialect definately gave it a certain character:)
