Laborless Day
back in 1882
to honor our workers
for everything they do.
It's been a national tribute
for all these years it's true.
for the ones in the factory
on the site, at the wheel
Without them, what would we do?
We'll remember them
as we picnic and grill
under skies of blue.
Because for me
Labor Day will be
laborless.
How about you?

The first Monday in September, is a creation of the labor movement and is dedicated to the social and economic achievements of American workers. It constitutes a yearly national tribute to the contributions workers have made to the strength, prosperity, and well-being of our country.

Nice! Sorry so late on this one.
The condition our country is in right now one would never know that we have laborers, but there is no doubt as to the fact that we have way to many politicians pretending to do things for us.
