A greedy laborer Mike
Planned to buy a bike
To fulfill whatever his like
Decided to sit on hunger strike.
Day by day the tension grew
The employers called up the crew,
The reason for his strike no one did knew
More bonus was his idea thought a few.
Still there was no satisfaction
No reason for his passion
So they decided by tradition
They shall take no further action
He lay sat at hunger strike
Until the hunger really did strike
He remembered the food, forgot the bike.
Thus he gave up the hunger strike.
This is the story of poor old Mike
Who gave up the strike when hunger really did strike.
Thus he put an end to his greed,
And thought his salary was enough for himself to feed.
