Freelance National AnthemFreelance National Anthem

(To the tune Ode to Joy)
We are full-time freelance writers.
What we love is being free!
We don't need no stinkin' office!
We don't need security!
Every day of freelance writing
Brings a different kind of joy!
And it keeps our families doubting
That we're actually employed.
Every morning we give thanks
We're not commuting with the mob.
We don't worry that we could get
Fired for napping on the job.
But if one day all those employees
Lost their jobs one thing is true:
One day later they'd be saying
They had all "gone freelance," too.
We are never sure if we will
Make a profit or a loss,
But we can't be terminated
Just for flipping off the boss.
Benefits are hard to come by,
And the money's not enough,
But our treasure is the endless
Joy of working in the buff.
