Is It?

Is it perserverance
That makes us strive and achieve success?

Is it guilt
That makes us try again when we give up?

Is it practicality
That makes us learn from our mistakes?

Or is it pigheadedness
When we can't reach success

Or whining
When we feel like giving up

Or carelessness
When we make mistakes we shouldn't have?
~
Is it mercy
That makes a person end the life of a pained and ailing family member?

Revised

Wake up, put a frown on my face
'Cause I'm gonna take the trip down to that evil 'school' place

We're gonna work and never be done
'Cause kids just cannot have fun!

[Cannot have fun
Cannot have fun
Cannot have fun
Cannot have fun]

Make your day a work-filled one
'Cause kids just cannot have fun!

***Note: Some Canadians/Torontonians might know of the famous amusement park, Ontario Place, in Toronto, and have seen the television advertisement for it in the summers. This poem/song is based on the jingle in that advertisement, with 'revised' lyrics for typical workaholic students (including yours truly here) .***
