Who Does These Jobs?

…Or not.

Who put the honor of rest into a holiday that recognizes work?

Who puts the rocks on the freeway that puncture windshields?

Who puts the buttons into the drinking fountain machines?

Who puts the rams in the song about the ding dongs?

Who puts the letters into the algebraic equations?

Who puts ideas in the minds of poets?

Who put the idea of ning into light?

Who puts the ask into who?

Who put pi in inspiration?

And…why?
