Who Does the Work

Think of people in terms of a car One which has been somewhat departed Some have an engine, but no starter So someone has to get them started Some have starters, but no battery They need that spark to get it going They never can see what is needed Unless told, they just stay unknowing Some people are missing all these parts They never do anything at all You can find them in the welfare line Like a leach, they’re enough to appall Then there are those that have all the parts They recognize what needs to be done And since they are also self-starters They’re done, while others haven’t begun If you have something that MUST be done Seek out and ask the busiest clerk Why? Cause ten percent of the workers Perform ninety percent of the work
