Nasrudin Hard At Work Poem by Raj Arumugam

Nasrudin is in his early twenties
and he works at the warehouse

See, each worker
lifts 3 sacks a time
and puts them on a pile
and walks back for more

but see Nasrudin
how he works -
he carries just 1 bag
and puts it on a pile
and walks back for 1 more

Now, says the foreman
Why is it you only carry 1 sack
When others carry 3 at a time?

Sir, says Nasrudin
I carry 1 bag a time
and make 3 trips in all
But the others
unlike me
are just
too lazy to make 3 trips
