Productivity! Usefulness incarnate, hopefully with
A number to say just how much. You know how to
Do it better: exert additional force per time, Work!
Consume more to make the work chase you faster
And you'll have to power four houses and three boats
To keep up with Mr. and Mrs. Jones, because they
Had a head start, you claim, but your sweat will
Bring down the houses as it comes through the walls
And everyone will see it and say, Protestant! Work!
America! But some will say, you chase the wrong things,
Complaining vaguely about the evils of Capital and
The conspiracy of intelligent agencies to rile up the
Masses to keep the interests of the Guardians of
Billions in mind; you're both right, don't you see:
The Joneses work for the Man and the men are at
Work, so it all sorts itself out (invisible hands and
Such, you see); pay not attention to get your fair
Share, conserve your energy and lend me your fare.
