Sisyphus' Dream

i work hard, Sir and well, Sir but you said it was not enough So i worked harder, Sir still well, Sir but you said it was not enough So i worked faster, Sir and longer, Sir but not so well, Sir and my kids forgot my face. To my disgrace, Sir you said the quality my work had dropped and still was not enough So i work harder, Sir still well Sir and wait for the day, Sir with your behind me, Sir i step aside, Sir and let you taste my rock. MCMXCVI - This originated as I was at my workstation on a glorious Sunday when i should be walking through the changing colors with my family
