Thread: Poem For Bathroom Stall At Work (language warning)

Now this is the story all about how
Our lives got flipped, turned upside down
And I'd like to take a minute
Just shit right there
I'll tell you how 563 dogfuckers lined up for welfare

In West Okanagan, born and raised
In the steamplant was where I spent most of my days
Chillin out maxin relaxin all cool
Don't overfeed the Klaus was the only rule
When a couple of CEOs
Who were up to no good
Started closing mills in my neighborhood
We got in one little recession and Ketchum the Clown
Said, "Take the liquor money boys then shutter down."

I pulled up to the line about 7 or 8
And I yelled to the cabbie, "Yo homes, smell ya later!"
I looked at my kingdom
I was finally there
To stand in the rain, in line for welfare

This takes a little explaining. The pulp/paper mill I work at is closing permanently, along with dozens across BC over the past year. Okanagan is the region here, and Ketchum is the CEO of our company. Liquor money was a government tax incentive for companies that use black liquor (this tarry goo they cook chips with). Klaus is a big fat-guy notable in the place. Also, most of this is plagiarized.

Well I can understand the motive! Go out in a blaze of glory, yeah!
