Such efforts were so trying;
And "setting up" I found was here
Much easier than lying.
I worked on till I was worked up,
My brain was sore with soaring;

I felt run down, so I just ran up
To bed, and soon was snoring.
The morning came to break my snooze,
It was the break of day, sir;
I got right up, for I'm not a goose,
So pray, why should I lay, sir.
