Hello there, what are you waiting for? We NEED your poems for this to work. Work...get it? This is a podcast, that at this moment in time and space (right here, right now) is focused on poems, about work and labor. We are pleading with you to participate. [email protected]. The stakes are high.

From Merriam-Webster, the etymology.

Old English werc, weorc "work, activity directed toward accomplishing something"

Middle English, from Anglo-French labur, from Latin labor; perhaps akin to Latin labare to totter, labi to slip — more at SLEEP
