Labor Day
It’s just another holiday?
You should read the tale
of how the Pullman strike
made U.S. pols turn pale.
The government reacted
with soldiers and police.
The workers had a wildcat strike...
made commerce almost cease.
The Prez knew angry workers
must be mollified.
He pledged to them a holiday
to honor those that died.
Now Labor Day is many things
as summer fun is over.
We should cease to wear white clothes...
even your dog Rover.
Soon school will start, vacations end,
sure, picnic and have fun.
But, remember as you play,
the workforce this day won.
