Double Standards

Double Standards

By: R. A. Slater

11/28/12

I reaped the benefits of his sexism

Favored because of my gender

But I grew tired of it after awhile

A line I would not cross

Men were crapped upon

As were the less endowed

He couldn't even be consistent in that

Knowing others had spoken before

And failed in their attempt

The truth fallen unheard

So I bided my time as I searched

Then gave my notice with glee

They tried to screw me even then

Dismissing me before my time was done

They gave me a sop

Hoping I'd just go away

But I took great care

Filling out my exit papers in detail

Finding out later

Thru the grapevine

That I had made his life at work

Too hot for him to handle

And he beat them to the punch

Quitting and leaving the state

What joy I felt was coupled with my shame

At not speaking up sooner
