If you've got a job to do, Do it now! If it's one you wish were through, Do it now! If you're sure the job's your own, Do not hem and haw and groan -- Do it now! Don't put off a bit of work, Do it now! It doesn't pay to shirk, Do it now! If you want to fill a place And be useful to the race, Just get up and take a brace -- Do it now! Don't linger by the way, Do it now! You'll lose if you delay, Do it now! If the other fellows wait, Or postpone until it's late, You hit up a faster gait -- Do it now! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...SAND FLESH AND SKY by CLARENCE MAJOR SPOON RIVER ANTHOLOGY: MINERVA JONES by EDGAR LEE MASTERS SEVEN TWILIGHTS: 1 by CONRAD AIKEN THE LOVER IN HELL by STEPHEN VINCENT BENET THE SAVING WAY by HAYDEN CARRUTH DRUMS AND BRASS by DONALD (GRADY) DAVIDSON PERSPECTIVE by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON BRER RABBIT, YOU'S DE CUTES' OF 'EM ALL by JAMES WELDON JOHNSON |
