You Best Make Diligence And Hard Work Your Wife Poem by Mark Heathcote

Sharpen your pencils, don't act goofy
knowledge is obtained-through diligence
not through envious, tomfoolery.
You can bait a hook and still be chivalrous
you can put your heart & soul on the line
without fear, there'll be any dereliction of duty
without a clean escape, you can't, just-mime
you can't-just-see-saw and expect your bootee.
If there's something yummy you've desired in life
you best make diligence and hard work your wife.
