Ing in Overtime

 

Yes I have a problem

What? What is it this time?

My mind it keeps on travel-

Ing in overtime

 

I have another problem

What? Say it isn't rhyme

No, it's just my mind goes motor-

Ing in overtime

 

I keep on getting problems

What? Too much fuel this time?

Yes, my mind just won't stop rocket-

Ing in overtime

 

When will I not get problems?

What? Slow down, it's no crime

Just let your mind keep work

Ing in leisure time
