Since there are so many strikes
everywhere, we may hear about
some of the following kinds in the
future: There's the babies. the
canary, the dogs. the cats. the
chickens-they all have a right to
strike if they want to. The can
aries could strike for more sanitary
working conditions. less singing,
more food and less bird seed. Our
babies could make strike by ask
ing for bigger bottles, less sleep,
bigger cribs. fewer photographs,
less baby talk, less kissing, and no
sleeves in their dresses. The
chickens can make their squawks
to inform the public with less
preachers, less visitors, no Sundays
or holidays, and more freedom.
Here come the cats! They can ask
for more nights to stay out, more
milk, more mouse traps, and longer
lounging hours with more priv
leges to stay in the house. The
dogs make their howl for bigger
moons, more cats, fewer baths, no
dog soap, no dog chains or dog
houses, more riding in automobiles,
and less walking.
