- it's so cheerful hearing folk whistling while they work, but so rare these days. I passed a guy whistling recently when he was working in a front garden and complimented him on his whistling

Whistle While You Work - by Elizabeth Squires
whistle while you work that's a happy lurk
do it loud and do it long makes a fun of work
music with a melody catchy bright and light
start on it tomorrow morn practice it tonight
it used to be such commonplace at work to hear a whistle
and a song or three sung out but now seems a thistle
must be stuck in every boot and sock and foot and shoe
causing pain and muttering that's all we hear it's true
so whistle while you work or hum a little tune
or burst forth and gustily with vocals fill the room
at first you'll get odd looks or two but soon you'll have them all
singing humming whistling at work they'll have a ball
