Analysis of Work Anyway
Rev. Dr. Priscilla Dross C. Marcial, M.Div., D.Min.Cand. 1961 (New York)
All I do is work all day,
and when I don’t want to work
I work anyway.
Today is one of those days
where work is on the way,
and if I stop to think why
Should I do it,
I find myself astray.
So, why think of work as
something we do not want
to do, when all we do is work,
work, work even till this day!
So pardon me lads, and
let’s get to work, as
every day, all we do is
work, work, work anyway!
