You think it is easy having a singular purpose???
I ask you, could you live like a mushroom 24hrs a day?
I spend all day every day, like the man
outside a burning building waiting for the baby to catch!!
I am eager, I am willing, and more than up to the task at hand.
Yet I am castigated, smothered, and beaten for it!!!
Oh, but for the same endeavor, the womb "That, soft, warm
and nuturing interloper!" Is held up in eternal esteem!!
I too hold the vast miracle of creation in my loins!
I too suffer great pains and a long journey
to bring life to this world.
Yet, I plow on with a stiff upper lip!!!
I may never be pretty, but I do my job with zeal!
I am who I am, if you don't like it, piss on ya!!!
