There was a boy at work,
the keyword: was.
He quit on a Monday, mad,
mad that someone earned more
than him.
He was mad and quit
over 6 percent, left
over 93 cents.
He quit because, I,
a girl, am paid 93 cents
more than him.
Well, maybe now he
knows the feeling
of the female population
everywhere, except
we don't quit.
We fight for
what we deserve.

The inclusion of the narrator being a girl and getting paid more than the boy really drove the message of the poem forward.
