He becometh poor that dealeth with a slack hand: but the hand of the diligent maketh rich.
Psalm 10:4
Keeping busy is a knack
I'm afraid that I do lack.
I just like to sit and think;
that's why all my prospects shrink.
I admire industry --
long as it don't include me.
Watching other people sweat
makes my bread taste better yet.
I stay poor and shabby, but
I still nap well in my hut.
When I reach the Promised Land
chances are I will be banned . . .
