One Thing at a Time
Poem
Work while you work,
Play while you play;
This is the way
To be happy each day.
All that you do,
Do with your might;
Things done by halves
Are never done right.

Here's the full poem:
Work while you work, play while you play;
This is the way to be cheerful and gay.
All that you do, do with your might;
Things done by halves are never done right.
One thing each time, and that done well,
Is a very good rule, as many can tell.
Moments are useless, if trifled away;
So work while you work, play while you play.
