VACATION

VACATION

We always need a vacation

After a day’s vacation, or a week’s.

It’s always the same

There’s always too much work

And not enough men to do it.

(Actually, it’s the other way around

But we’re sworn to secrecy.)

We’re so very tired of working so hard

Hardly enough work for the workers,

Er, I mean workers for the work.

And we’re always in need of a break

Or a year-long vacation.
