With apologies to Tolkien

The Work goes ever on and on
Out from the desk where it began.
Now far ahead the pay has gone,
And I must chase it as I can,
Pursuing it with labor much,
Until it finally flits away
In bills and debts and other such
That I will never full repay.

The Work goes ever on and on
Out from the desk where it began.
Now far ahead the pay has gone,
And other chase more than I can.
They in investments had begun
While I have simply scrimped and saved.
In seven figures their worths run,
While mine but echoes, a hollow cave.
