Celebrate that “Other Labor” on Labor Day

The first Monday in September,
American Workers we Remember.
When it Started – Some have Wondered,
Consensus seems – late Eighteen Hundred.

For that Day – a Dividend,
Extending to a Long Weekend.
Parades and Parties – they Abound,
Good Time spreading All-around.

But there Is that “Other Labor,”
Our beginning – that Behavior.
Not for Women on this Earth,
Be no Way of Giving Birth.

Those Nine Months can’t be a Treat,
Morning Sickness – Kicking Feet.
In the End – With any Luck,
Pushing out a Semi-Truck.

For those Ladies – Painful Measure,
Salute You – a Sacred Treasure.
Whether Current – or Your Ex,
Women are the Stronger Sex.

If a Woman was a Tree,
Grand Sequoia She would Be.
Yet a Man Comparison Be,
He’s a Wimpy Weenie Tree.
