Good Morning… Have a Delicious Sunday!

I bargained with life for a penny,
And life would pay no additional,
However I begged at evening
When I counted my scanty store;

For life could be a simply employer,
He provides you what you raise,
But once you've got set the wages,
Why, you want to bear the task.

I worked for a menial’s rent,
Only to be told dismayed,
That any wage I had asked of life,
Life would have paid.
