D.W. Rodgers Poet Epic

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
