Quitting

The Gazette Editor:
Thoreau I need you in my office right away
Thoreau:
I'm sensing you have some bad news to say
The Gazette Editor:
It's about your editorial yesterday
It vilified that new tobacco company
In this kind of town it has a certain economy
That relies on that form of industry
Thoreau:
What happened to the other forms of agriculture?
The Gazette Editor:
Tobacco is the only crop making money anymore
Thoreau:
Then what's selling over at the grocery store?
The Gazette Editor:
It's not keeping us afloat in ad revenue
At least not like tobacco is willing to do
So you better just quit if you don't change your point of view
Thoreau:
Well then consider this my resignation
Because I won't stay for any sort of compensation
I never wanted to work for a tobacco corporation
