Analysis of The "Cheese" Man, Esquire



"(Hello, my name is The 'CHEESE' Man.

Follow me closely to my parable, if you

can. I get 'CHEESE' everyday, normally my

way, in 12-14 hours of work. Sometimes, I

work so hard I feel like a jerk.

Nevertheless, I must confess, I love my job.

Henceforth, it keeps me busy and from

feeling like a slob.
I got two houses, accounts, some cars, and I

keep 'CHEESE' in jelly jars. I got all of

that good stuff, but in a few cases, my life

gets rough. It's a bumpy ride, but I thank

God He's on my side. When I get my 'CHEESE',

alls I hear in my head is 'CHA-CHING!' I

may even to sing, but the bottomline is

that 'CHEESE', translation MONEY, isn't

everything, I say, isn't everything").
