They Don't Pay Me Enough For This
September 3, 2014
Little Isabelle is crying
Someone's put glue in her hair
Should I cut it? Brush it?
How should I tackle those snares?
Angelica's spilled her juice on the rug
Naturally, she's bawling
Oh, and Jacob's swallowed a bug
He swears he can feel it crawling...
Someone's taken a Sharpie
And drawn curse words on the walls
Tommy's shed his shirt
And is running, half-naked, through the halls
I'm supposed to be teaching multiplication
But I might just call it quits
Y'know, I have a BA in education
And they don't pay me enough for this
