FIRED by FANNIE BARRIER WILLIAMS

First Line: FIRED! / WHY, HERE I AM JUST AS TRUE
Last Line: THOUGH_ _ _ _ _ _FIRED.
Subject(s): OLD AGE; WEARINESS; FATIGUE;
Fired!
Why, here I am just as true
As when I hired;
No arrear, record clear,
Yet_ _ _ _ _ _ _fired!

Fired!
Just when I have barely gained
As I aspired.
Youth is gone, I alone,
And_ _ _ _ _ _fired!

Fired!
But, wait until I get my breath.
Lord, I am tired!
Just the same I am game
Though_ _ _ _ _ _fired.
