a small achievement

and after all the work a glass of rum
will nicely serve to ease and to relax
not every job is marked by bending backs

now here and there i find a sweet fat plum
though more often absent sense and syntax
and after all the work a glass of rum

somewhere an idler pleasing chords may strum
or more ambitious blows upon the sax
but every worker has some kind of axe
and after all the work a glass of rum
