Happy Labor Day

Long deserved rest for the working individual
Always willing to lend a hand despite data
Believed to be true; an unemployment stab
Omitting the fact most of us do our share, so
Remember to honor this day, remember

Dads, moms, sisters, brothers, friends; likened
Allies join together to unwind, relax on the sofa
You, yes you deserve a break from labor today

Labor Day
by Laurie Kolp

End of summer
Start of school
Long weekend
Barbecue
Jerry Lewis
Telethon
Pledge money
Work none
American flag
Patriotism
Beach party
Eroticism
Too much fun
On Labor Day
One last time
To frolic and play

I hope all of you have a great Labor Day weekend!
