Bees labor not in vain
For their task is plain.
Listen - how they hum 
Around the myoporum.
Purple buds then show forth
Declaring their handiwork.

On Labor Day Do Not

On Labor Day do not like to labor,
Which is what I told my neighbor;
So will rest;
By God be blessed,
And listen to Trump rattle his saber.

Post Labor Day Protest

Post Labor Day non conformists unite
even if it means getting kicked off a flight
protesting with hues
still wearing on cue
ivory to cream colored ghostly whites!

whose honor is believe
in his own labor

In that same trend
the woman can conceive
and not belittle fortune
as being up her sleeve!

A language that tied me in knots was Chinese
  Oh, and another tongue-twister was Japanese

But the toughest of them all was Vietnamese

A Sestet of Strength

Strength a labor of time,
A work which breaks bones,
An effort which I have made mine,

While I work once again,
This time I work with friends,
With this I can go through the pain.

First day of Lab,
we sat as assigned.
She wrote one word
across the board:

'Laboratory’

She turned and said 
"This is a laboratory.
Let’s have more of the first five
and less of the last seven."

Premium Member A Man’s Work

So much to do, so little time
So little to do, so much time
So Life unfolds in phases all its own
A life’s work made whole by halves
A woman’s may never be done
While a man’s may have yet to begun.

Labor Of Love

Two rings for vow
Meet in altar
Once in lifetime.

At last past years
Had passed made fruit
Labor of love.

Patience lays egg
If you believe
Yield good result.

True love awaits
If your hope last
End of rainbow.

Division of Labor

I finished it! 
I finished it! 
... It is finally done! 
This rosy, blue, and pink 
Constipating Painting; 
With a lot of focus 
And support 
From my own professors 
And few devoted 
Customers … 
I deleted it 
As soon as I finished it.
