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").
