I bargained with life for a penny
And life would pay no more
However I begged at evening
When I counted my scanty score.
For life is a just employer
And will give you what you ask
But once you have set the wages
You must bear the task.
I worked for a menials hire
Only to learn dismayed
That any wage I would have asked of life
Life would have willingly paid.
