        Aesthetically, I don't like ABBB for "Roses are red...". ABCB is fine, ABBB feels too forceful. And the plurals just turn it into half rhymes anyway. How about :

        Roses are red

        I used to have dreams

        Work is a drag

        But I guess I have memes

          How about you?

            I get that paid and laid rhyme, but it's sort of a stretch to connect getting laid to getting paid.

            I mean there are plenty of unemployed and unemployable people getting action.
            maybe like

            Burn the midnight oil

            So I don't eat soil

            I’ve previously heard:

            I owe, I owe, it’s off to jail I go
            Don’t ever mess with the IRS
            I owe! I owe, I owe, I owe!

              I thought our work song was:

              🎶"I owe, I owe, It's off to work I go!"🎶

                  Boss makes a dollar,

                  I make a dime.

                  That's why I doo-doo

                  on company time.

                    https://www.musixmatch.com/lyrics/Fercris-Hart-1/Boss-Made-a-Dollar-I-Made-a-Dime

                    Boss made a dollar, I made a dime

                    That was a rhyme from a simpler time

                    Now boss makes a thousand and gives me a cent

                    When I′m an employee who can't pay my rent

                    When the boss makes a million and us workers make jack

                    That′s when I protest and take my life back

                    Boss makes a dollar, I make a dime

                    That's why I shit on company time

                    Boss makes a billion, my prospects are grim

                    Next company party, I'm gonna eat him

                    When the boss makes a million and us workers make jack

                    That′s when we riot and take our lives back

                    We make a penny, the boss makes fifteen

                    Guess who′s in line for the guillotine

                    Boss made a dollar, we made a dime

                    Til' we went to his mansion and burned him alive

                      Roses are red

                      Democracy is a lie

                      Fascism is Liberalism, but when white people die
