The Poet's Job

It's the poet's job to sit and think Watch all his fingers grow fat and pink Shun the shovel and lift the drink No need for working harder Rich man says the poor are poor By their own works and there's no more To do for them, but show them the door And say they must work harder Poor man says life's not fair With all that gold you're hoarding there Starve my children to oil your hair And we keep working harder It's the poet's job to sit and think Watch all his fingers grow fat and pink Shun the shovel and lift the drink No need for working harder The poet sighs, counts his coins To buy another round But the price of inspiration can't be found Pick him up toss him in bed Those weighty words inside his head Surely keep him tethered to the ground Rich man says poor are poor Poor man says I'll work no more The poet's slumped on the kitchen floor Waiting to expire It's the poet's job to sit and think Watch all his fingers grow fat and pink Shun the shovel and lift the drink No need for working harder
