True Professionals
by Jen Horton and Kathleen Paul-Flanagan
The hallmark of a true professional
is being able to take
criticism well.

It's a lot like eating a big shit-sandwich.

Women eat shit all the time.
Yes, sir,
right away, sir,
can I work overtime?

Wives eat it from the second
they say I do.
Yes, honey,
no, honey,
I'm sorry you don't like green beans.

And wives get the added bonus
of all day long shit
when they hit motherhood,
mothers eat it all day long.

I consider myself a professional,
you se,
because not only am I a woman,
I'm a wife and mother, too...

Which is probably why I can take criticism so very well.
***BIO*** Jen Horton is looking 29 in the butthole. While that itself isn’t terribly exciting, it’s interesting to note that a butthole looks exactly like the end of a hot-dog. Outside of that startling revelation, Jen’s life is pretty effin mundane. Whoo.

Hot-dog anyone?
