They said to work hard and you will get ahead-
So with that thought, I got out of bed.
.
I worked in the morning, all day long-
I whistled while I worked, I sang a familiar song.
.
I worked until way late, into the night-
To get ahead, I kept the thought in sight.
.
I worked the holidays, and all the days, in between-
Looking for that getting ahead, that would eventually
be seen.
.
I worked until I could work no more-
At that moment, I thought that I had bought the store.
.
But, when the bills came, the bank account came up short-
I tried my best to be a good sport.
.
They said to work hard and you will get ahead-
So, with that thought I got out of bed.
