Story 204
Not Blithesome
The sharecropper works the field with a scythe.
The hard work keeps his body very lithe,
Though of the profit he keeps but a tithe.
Thus, the songs that he sings are not so
blithe, For deep inside his spirit does writhe.
Story 205
How Success Arrives
It is not enough merely to be alive.
We must strive to optimally thrive.
We must have the drive to work past five,
As busy bees in a hive.
Then, and only then, shall success arrive.
