Is poem wrirting real work?

There once was a girl full of perk,
Whose dad thought her poem some quirk,
But she said with a grin,
“An essay on bin,
With school snacks – that’s real work, not just work!”

Like her Dad, there are many who think that poetry writing is no work but quirk. Appreciate this light hearted side of you, dear Jay Ji
