Work and Play


Six legged workers under the sun,

Doing things we can’t.

They won’t stop, there’s much to be done;

We can learn much from the ant.

Birds flying around in the air,

Swooping and flying so absurd;

Flying around without any care

We can learn much from the bird.

There’s a time to work during the day;

Things need to be done,

But there’s also a time to play,

It’s just not number one.

Benjamin P.S. is a being of immense integrity, habitually semi-boisterous, sans ostentatiousness, and sibling to seven. He is skilled in the art of art, melodic and harmonious in music. Seldom garrulous; it is somewhat a rarity for this bizarre being to be heard uttering anything auxiliary a grunt. This individual has a great extent of outlandish schemes being administrated in his psyche; but you only see the translucent structure, you encompass a diminutive amount of his true form- only some is illuminated within your perception.
