I washed dishes as a college job

life in the Slime Patrol

by jake cosmos aller

When I was a college student

I worked my way through college

in the campus cafeteria,

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As a member

of the dish room crew.

I dubbed us

the slime patrol.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

And we nightly

Cleaned up the mess

Left behind by

The entitled rich snobs

That dominated the university.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I learned a lot

About life

Working alongside

`-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

One day some entitled pricks

Were hazing me

As I cleaned up a mess

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

They had left behind

After a food fight.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A beautiful woman

Came along and rescued me

Berated the pricks

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tore them a new A….,

Made them apologize

To me

For disrespecting

a fellow human being.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I wanted to thank

My guardian angel

But she ran off

Without giving me

Her name and number.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I wanted to go out with her

For she was my fatal attraction type

Tall, bosomy, great bodacious booty

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

with a sexy vibe

And alto voice with a touch

Of a foreign accent.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

But alas

It was not to be,,

But from that moment,

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The entitled pricks.

All treated the slime patrol

With a modicum of respect.
