Story of a Girl

There’s a story of a girl who mopped the floor

While the other girl watched and laughed.

There’s a story of a girl who does the work

While the other talks to her friends.

There’s a story of a girl with mop-water hands

While the other has beautiful manicured hands.

There’s a story of a girl who labors with head low

While the other laughs and kisses the boys.

There’s a story of a girl who steals this prince’s heart

While the other earns my disrespect.

There’s a story of a girl at Steamer’s Coffeehouse.
