Not Simple Folk

In the play Camelot, King Arthur and Guinevere sing "What do the Simple Folk do?"  It's all about those poor souls, not as blessed as they, who are trying to make it in life.  When I'm spending my afternoon in the pool with my kids and their friends, I can't help but wonder what other people are doing to pass their summer days.  We are certainly lucky.

Donovan, Brandt, Jarom, Sam, Sarah, Blythe

A verse from the song.

What do the simple folk do
To help them escape when they're blue?
The shepherd who is ailing, the milkmaid who is glum
The cobbler who is wailing from nailing his thumb
Why they're best and besieged 
The folk not noblessly obliged
However to they manage to shed their weary lot?
Oh, what do simple folk do, we do not?

So what are you doing?
