HERO. AND ANTY.
A Labor Day Lesson

l guess you've often read that little piece
or Hercules the heavyweight OF Greece,
And how he beat Antaeus in fight.
old Here. could put Anaeus down all right.
But Anty bounced back stronger than before.
"Iow's ths?" said Hercules I'm getting sore
For time this fellow hits the land
lie TO gather new supplies of sand.
So Hercules held his victim in the air
Above his Mother Earth and choked him there
Well. Labor is Antacus Let him stand
or fall, in contact with the land
And who beat him? Send him the soil
And Labor brings back and wine and oil.
Given hands to dig, a mouth feed,
And Mother Earth will satisfy his need
But put him lin the air. and Hercules
Can throttle him by fast or slow degrees.
Its not the man who fills your envelope.
Nor yet fellow with a cross barred
Called Kapita Take another
And say it's You.andI and all of who stand
Watching each other tie up idle land.
Each trying to stick until the heavy
OF ones need will make him bonus,
And all the bonus paid all the soil
Comes the blood and bones of those toll.
celebrate Labor Day,
| hope it's amss for say,
Isn't 1t time. Antacus that you planned
To get your feet back upon the land?
