Don'T Waste Your Energy
Don't waste your energy,
In trying to fit more hours in your day,
As no dividend will ever come from thinking the house will ever pay,
A dividend for those who use their energy in that way,
And you will be using up time that should be set aside for play.
Instead of using your daily quota of energy in that way,
Try planning your day,
To reduce the time of your office stay,
By working out what can be put off for another day,
Without hell to pay.
If you do as I say,
And don't waste your energy trying to put more hours in your day,
As even if you can never put extra hours in your day,
You can prolong your life by many a day,
Resulting in more hours to play,
From hours you could not fit in your day,
That you found by using your energy in a more productive way.
