I've begun to notice those same people, <br />Were standing on this corner yesterday. <br />And now they are on that corner. <br />What's going on? <br /> <br />'Neither one of us are doing too much, <br />If I agree we both notice... <br />People with nothing to do, <br />But move from one side of the street... <br />To the other.' <br /> <br />Yeah? <br />But there is a difference. <br /> <br />'And what is that? <br />We both still have our jobs.' <br /> <br />You're right. <br />We complain everyday about the same routine. <br />To do nothing else, <br />But notice the same people do nothing... <br />As you put it. <br /> <br />'Like I said. <br />There is a difference. <br />We are getting paid to do nothing.' <br /> <br />And very soon, <br />Guess what? <br /> <br />'What? ' <br /> <br />We might, one day... <br />Be asking them how they do that! <br />And, survive.<br /><br />Lawrence S.
