Robinson Crusoe Daniel Defoe by Maurice Sagoff

Robinson Crusoe 

Daniel Defoe 

by Maurice Sagoff

Wrecked castaway

On lonely strand

Works hard all day

To tame the land,

Takes time to pray;

Makes clothes by hand

For eighteen years

His skill he plies, 

Then lo! A footprint

He espies - 

"Thank God It's Friday!"

Crusoe cires.

Take heart from his

Example, chums

Work hard, produce;

Complete your sums;

Eventually,

Friday comes.
