The Troubles

of a TV Girl

My job is full or problems, I shall relate a few Of the more peculiar things I am supposed to do: And if I could just take and quit whenever I get sore My brother sure would have to hire a dozen girls or more.

He used to think that I was dumb, and that was bad enough But now he knows that I can write, and things are REALLY tough! He dumps a stack of numbers in my lap and lets me know They've got to be a neat report in just a day or so.

Whatever bunch of bums he joins, they make him Secretary And you can guess who does the work and her name isn't Mary! So then they pat him on the back and say he's doing fine - I'd like to slap his silly face, except it's also mine!

He just loves to experiment, but wouldn't hurt a cur So when he needs a guinea-pig, it's "OK, I'll use HER". When he took up photography, a model's all he needs So who spent hours posing in a string of dime-store beads?

By nature I'm a party-girl And all this extra typing makes me scratch where I don't itch. Sometimes I really do catch up and think that I am through And then comes mail from Chevalier: Virginia wants some too! So when at last I get to bed, to rest our weary body I have to tell him stories, just like Queen Scheherazade Since if I don't, we'll NEVER sleep, I try to weave a spell - At least he can't take off my head if they don't turn out well.

The way his dirty friends can talk makes Fanny Hill seem mild And then there's broken finger nails, which simply drive me wild. All this just simply goes to prove what you have surely known The poor hard-working "girl Within" has troubles of her own!
