Leave It Cleaner
"Leave it cleaner than you found it;"
Do not be too high for a minial task.
Those above you may come around it
And curse a praise, then, amazingly ask,
"Did you perform this excellent work?"
"Are you the one behind it all?"
"Would you like a position that others shirk?"
Just you be ready to answer the call...
And "leave it cleaner than you found it."
Do not act too high for a minial task.
Though all your peers may come around it
With curses behind white teeth to ask,
"Why are you doing more than the work?"
"There is no need to do much at all!"
"They care not for us, so this we shirk."
Just you stay ready- they will miss the call...
(Dedicated to Lee Benson, Professor of Art)
