WORK, by VIRGINIA WOODS MACKALL

First Line: I work and work, but I can't see
Last Line: I'd rather let the whole thing go.
Subject(s): Labor & Laborers; Work; Workers
I work and work, but I can't see
That it's of any good to me.
For though I put my toys away
I have to get them out next day;
And when I wash my hands and face
It shows up dark another place.
Work always means more work, and so
I'd rather let the whole thing go.
