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,
we
picnic and have fun.
But,
remember as you play,
the
workforce this day won.
