I owe! I owe!, So it's off to work I go (poem)

I owe, I owe, so it's off to work I goHurry! Hurry! Push and shove
"This poem was written for humor"
No time to spare - for a little love
Be sure you do not arrive late for work
Or your boss will truly go berserk
Do as your told, and don't ask why
For their rules -you must abide by
You must not speak out of line
Or you may wind up - on the assembly line
If you want - to become a success
You must comply, - and always say - yes
You have not a mind of your own
Because you owe your soul to the savings and loan
So if you want to continue to eat
Your job and your life, you must keep discrete
For when you retire and your work is through
The government will tell you - just what to do
But when you die, - and you're finally free in heaven
You'll have no boss, to give you direction
