“Bless you, of course youre keeping me from work,
But the thing of it is, I need to be kept.
Theres work enough to do theres always that;
But behinds behind. The worst that you can do
Is set me back a little more behind.
I shant catch up in this world, anyway.
Id rather youd not go unless you must.”
—Robert Frost (18741963)
