Work Song For Hard Labor

For every hard labor
A dish of such flavor
As one does savor
And would keenly devour
As nutritive favor.

Next, you face the rigor
Requiring one’s vigor,
All along shorn of humor
For the sure strains and tremor.

So, no skipping of work song
Or the tasks shall last long
And you’d seem The Weakly Strong,
Eyeing more hands of a throng;
Even in heaven, quite wrong!
Then, for every hard labor
Even at a ship’s harbor
Work songs of the sonorous…
Need I list The Numerous?
