Whipping Boy
by David Pekrul
copyright 06-30-2006


Age Rating: 10 to 127

 
I know I said I’d do the jobs,
That no one else would do,
Because I thought you needed me,
But you don’t have a clue.

I always get the dirty jobs,
While others get the praise,
And then you wonder why it is,
I ask you for a raise.

You treat me like a punching-bag,
You never seem to stop,
And though I give my everything,
The others reach the top.

Just one step forward, two steps back,
I never get ahead,
I’ll work where no one knows of me,
Until the day I’m dead.

And then you’ll wonder how it is,
You ever got along,
You’ll think of how you treated me,
And realize you were wrong.

But will you learn your lesson then?
Or will you ever change?
You’ll find another ‘whipping boy’,
And things will stay the same.

I think it is curel to be preaditory
enough to treat a boy like a punching bag.
Why dont people get prase for dirty jobs?
It is because thay are thougt of as the dirt
thay work in.

Great job, I love so many of your topics, because they make people think and not many people would think to write about the topics you choose.

and the whipping boy said if all I am to be is the whipping boy you see then I will be the best whipping boy I can be. Don't compare your success by the size of your bank accout, but by the size of your value, know that you are better, and that you have others who beleive in you too, and thats all that matters, be the best you, you can be, Great write, good job, thanks,

Regina
