Sweat runs, forehead to toenail
Time has stopped in sweltering heat
Chores get accomplished at the speed of snail
All muscles go, all systems fail
How much more do I sacrifice for this pittance!
An arm and a limb, a hit or a cut
Take your given tools, have a go in the rut
Excruciating pain, then you stop abrupt
Thanking your marbles you weren’t born without luck

Nice. Once I thought the most useful tools are simple and don’t change over centuries..

Absolutely, when people will dig this out in 2000 years they would think we used it for something important or perhaps worshipped it 🙂
