Gushing, rushing talk, talk,
walk away from work, shirk
obligations,
short-term
gain, fame. 

Hush!

Duties fulfilled, 
continuance, perseverance
solid foundation,
fulfilling,
small but steady remuneration,
weary, no fame
but long-term
satisfaction.

All hard work brings a profit,
but mere talk leads only to poverty. Proverbs (Bible Book)14:23

"Gushing, rushing, talk, talk,

walk away from work, shirk.."

 

Those first two lines give energy to the rest of the poem. Lots of carefully placed wording means a nicely crafted IP response, Rhiannon. Paul
