SUNDAY.
l have often wondered
Why it is
That a few select human beings
Strive SO heroically
To make others
Hate Sunday.
Especially working-folk and children.
How we'll l remember,
When boy,
How thought of Sunday as just day
When | must not go swimming,
Nor whistle,
Nor FISH for bull-heads,
Nor play ball,
Nor DO any OF the various things
Which l wanted to do:
And always on this hated day
l must wear shoes
And a coat
And be altogether dull and miserable
Presently 1 grew up:
And ] found
That men were busy making laws
To prevent everybody
From enjoying the Lords Day
Lately
| have harbored the conviction
That, were Christ to come back
Some radiant Sunday morning.
His first act would be
To gather together
All the children and working people
And let them be wholly happy
That day.
But II has occurred to me
That He would probably be arrested
For breaking some Blue Law
Were He to walk in the corn-6eIds
On that day .
As once He walked
