1654 - Oil's well that ends well

I'm enjoying work more than ever now
Though there are always problems with people
Accepting their limitations somehow
And my own, things should continue quite well
My work involves the taxation of oil
The excise duty that we all must pay
And should pay, that goes towards hospital
And school, and towards road and railway
After five years in this job I can say
That at last I am approaching the brow
Of the hill of knowledge, although that hill
Somehow continues to rise every day
But hillwalking's enjoyable. We plough
Onwards, upwards, indefatigable
