"Generous Jim's" Nut Farm


Workaholism is what results
 
When we let anxiety

Fear

Anger

Greed and

Comparison

Drive the ship

And around the workaholic

Pain arises like a

Volcano

Swallowing everything in its

Spit-shined path

But don't worry

The workaholic can sell you

A so-called cure for that

"You only need to

Take it every night to sleep"

Just make sure to keep your mouth shut

When the tide comes in

And don't forget that

Early birds

Get worms

And even marines

Can be funny

When they finally see the

Enemy

Was there all along

On the Imperial Oceanliner

Sleep deprivation is prohibited

By the Geneva Convention

And sleep is something

To do

Together

You of all people should know

That to save a fellow dying soldier

Or a minnow in the mud

You must help them to

Sleep

Perhaps if you had been allowed

Yourself

You would know

The wrong side of the bed

Is something another chooses for us

The disruption

Of

A dream
