The Doer Does: Yes, He Does
The Doer does: Yes, he does
The doer never says what he does
He does
Nor what he’s going to do
He simply does
Fears not the consequences
Of what he does
If by the hoi polloi right
He does
In accord with vox populi
He does
Even what the lambda citizen spurns
He does
Fears not what history books record
He does
What he’s compelled to do
Only just does
Takes only tentative steps
Never really does
Even when lame-ducked
He does
His heart’s not in it
A contrecœur does
Puts not the blame on the other side
For what he does
Nor the lambda hoi polloi for the mess
He does
Wags not the flag of executive terror
And what it does
If he fears not his own vested power
Aught he does
Even if only one people remain un-free
Nought he does
Depletes not his side’s chances
With what he does
If he takes time out to shore up his side
Will forget about what he does
Should he think only of what he could do
Will wonder about what he does
Will re-double his appearances
To talk about what he does
And the other side’ll take the advantage
Not because of what he does
Yet because of what he does
So he does
Yes he does
Yet he does
Yea he does
What He does !
