Ftrain, by Paul Ford

A few verses from “Worker’s Limericks”

He sings:

I once loved a woman, and listen:
Her affection went into remission
Her job was in sales,
Her heart hard as nails--
For she only could love on commission

She sings:

I was seeking a way to advance
When the CEO asked me to dance.
“To smash the glass ceiling
You’ll need to start kneeling,”
He said, unzipping his pants.

Chorus:

Smile, nod, and grab your ankles;
You’d better be sincerely thankful
In a world full of slobs,
We gave a clown like you a job.

Enter: Fishmongers, who perform a traditional Baltic “Fish Slapping” dance.
