DO IT NOW (2) by ANONYMOUS

First Line: IF YOU'VE GOT A JOB TO DO
Last Line: YOU HIT UP A FASTER GAIT -- / DO IT NOW!
Subject(s): ACTIVITY; EXERCISE;
If you've got a job to do,
Do it now!
If it's one you wish were through,
Do it now!
If you're sure the job's your own,
Do not hem and haw and groan --
Do it now!
Don't put off a bit of work,
Do it now!
It doesn't pay to shirk,
Do it now!
If you want to fill a place
And be useful to the race,
Just get up and take a brace --
Do it now!
Don't linger by the way,
Do it now!
You'll lose if you delay,
Do it now!
If the other fellows wait,
Or postpone until it's late,
You hit up a faster gait --
Do it now!
