Labor Day

Alas, the time has come;
The grill was used a lot this summer,
Too many hamburgers, chips and French onion dip-

Children everywhere are bummed;
Time to swap swimsuits and trips to the mall,
For backpacks and long hours in the library.
Remember the smell of a classroom?
Or back to school shopping?

I do love the aroma of fall though;
Wearing layers of clothing-
Football games.

Why do we get a special holiday for working anyway?
Isn't that what weekends are for?
Whatever. I enjoy any excuse for a three day celebration!
Even if it means that yet another summer is over!
