WOES.

Nothing to do but work,
Nothing to eat put food,
Nothing to wear but clothes
To keep one from going nude.
Nothing to breathe but air,
Quick as a flash tits gone;
Nowhere to fall but off,
Nowhere to stand but on.
Nothing to comb but hair,
Nowhere to sleep but in bed,
Nothing to weep but tears,
Nothing to bury but dead.
Nothing to sing but songs,
All, we'll, alas, alack.
Nowhere to go but put,
Nowhere to come but back.
Nothing to see but sights,
Nothing TO quench but thirst,
Nothing to have but that we've got;
Thus through life we are cursed.
Nothing TO strike but a gait;
Everything moves that goes;
Nothing at all but common
Can ever withstand these woes.
