The first four lines are actually rather good. The rest, sadly, is your usual fare. Cut everything except those first four lines, and you have a rather witty and meaningful minature vignette.

It may be short, but short poetry can be effective. I think that works rather well. I would also keep the lower-case 'I' pronoun from the first version - somehow, that adds to the overall effect.
