WORK



I wake up at the crack of dawn,
And think as much as I yawn,
For I have to do to much,
Like all the daily things,
Eating breakfast, and feeding the dog,
But what to do there is more like
The logs need chopping,
Or the pipes need unclogging,
What to do!  
What to do!
Well, you one thing, one excuse,
One reason, one explanation,
Like “I have to do homework”,
Or one that makes you perk,
For everything is better than work!
