Work while you work,
Play while you play:
To be useful and happy,
That is the way.

All that you do.
Do with all your might:
Things done by halves.
Are never done right.

One thing at a time,
And that done well;
Is a very good rule,
As many can tell.

Moments should never,
Be trifled away;
So, work while you work,
And play while you play.
