Analysis of The Intern
The Intern
He can be bold, he can be brash,
but really wants the sash,
to you, he may seem too old,
but needs to enter the fold,
Has difficulty being humble,
and a tendency to grumble,
on you, he has been sold,
so please don't leave him in the cold.
His promise is now good,
in spite of the shaky ground where he once stood,
would shed his own blood,
to be a member of the club.
So in summation,
save him from his own damnation,
and lead him to an association,
where he can continue his creation.
