Here’s a little food for thought:
My Wage "I bargained with Life for a penny, And Life would pay no more, However I begged at evening
When I counted my scanty store. For Life is a just employer, He gives you what you ask, But once you have set the wages,
Why, you must bear the task. I worked for a menial's hire,
Only to learn, dismayed, That any wage I had asked of Life,
Life would have willingly paid."
-Jessie B. Rittenhouse
