Short-listed?
You’re not the only one, darlin’.
I know how it feels.

I wanted to become an stewardess,
But my friends said,
“You’re short, sis!”

I wanted to be drink Gloxi,
But my mom said,
“That has no effect, dear!”

I wanted to play basketball,
But my bro said,
“Your disqualified already, baby!”

I wanted to become a model,
But my sis said,
“You can’t walk the runway, babe!”

I decided to become a laborer at least,
But the owner said,
“Better luck next time, kid!”

So I settled in headressing, where I’m good at;
But my imployer said,
“You’re fired!”
