Write Or Work

Writing and working, writing and working 
Staying busy but thoughts are lurking. 
So I pick up a pen, write a couple of them 
Recording and then more bloom in, such a bountiful stem. 
But really I am trying to work, be a good employee for a good sir. 
But the brain continues to whir and my straw is in the glass, I must sip and stir. 
So I’m making my way with a pen and a page 
That I just may find both work and write to engage. 
So writing and working, writing and working. 
I might be busy, Mind, but my ears are up and perking.
