Underpaid Limerick

An industrious woman named Valerie
Earns a shockingly miniscule salary.
She has Ivy degrees:
Two “fine arts” PhDs.
You have guessed it: She works at a gallery.

    The Naked Truth

    And so near the musee there is Mae,
    who has merely been tutored she’ll say,
    getting rich with each pose
    that berids her of clothes
    to degree one will earn by her pay.

    Labor Day?

    Do we really praise work as we quit…
    for a day…while we’re paid to admit
    for assemblers it’s fine,
    though away from the “line,”
    it just preys on our backlogs a bit?
