Eager For the Meager
Any guy who is dead eager
To work for wages quite meager
Is contented with plans to save:
A belief he won’t at last rave;
Sure of Rice and Beans for breakfast:
Sure means of paying for them fast.
But then Food, Shelter and Clothing
Plus nothing else still breed Loathing:
What If Hospital Bill high charge
Or Dad’s Family pretty large?
What If Good Boss starts playing games
And cares not one being John or James?
A crying neglect of books men read,
On which Minds of The Normal feed!
Why would one skip knowledge men seek;
What Humans should add up each week?
Any guy who’s rather earnest
To work for bosses less honest
Might find himself moving hither
And the next hurt hour thither.
