On Labor Day

On Labor Day, some stores are closed

And many catch a break

By getting paid for staying home,

No penalty at stake.

 

I guess it’s kind of strange

That this time off’s a welcome perk

For a day that honors workers –

That is irony at work.

 

But there always are some laborers

Who never get to stop,

Which includes those gals in labor

Who are just about to pop.
