Labor Day 2011

                                Labor Day 2011 at Lake Michigan

The Cucumbers have arrived

the Sweet Corn is in,

the Tomatoes – blood red

oh, to be garden fed,

tee up the football

and back to school,

autumn is best

in America’s mid-west

but you say,

its jobs, jobs, jobs we need,

maybe next year,

‘cause unfortunately, it’s also the season of big-time greed
