Working
Every morning when
the sun begins to shine,
Without the sound of the alarm,
cannot get to work on time.
We must stay at work
for eight hours a day,
Perform our daily functions
to receive the take-home pay.
Work creates the money
to buy the things we need.
Don’t spend it on fun
with many mouths to feed.
Year after year goes by,
struggling through the daily grind.
Don’t let the routine
spoil your peace of mind.
If you do your duty
and work a full career,
A pension may come your way
for your trouble through the years.
If you make enough money
during your entire working life,
Enjoyment will fill the golden years
without any stress or strife.
Don’t let work take
everything you have to give,
Save some for the future
when you really start to live.
