I thought I would share a work related poem from the author of a timeless favorite character, Winnie the Pooh.
A. A. Milne's Now We are Six (1927) had the following version of "Cherry stones":
- Tinker, tailor, soldier, sailor, rich man, poor man, beggar man, thief,
- Or what about a cowboy, policeman, jailer, engine driver, or a pirate chief?
- Or what about a ploughman or a keeper at the zoo,
- Or what about a circus man who lets the people through?
- Or the man who takes the pennies on the roundabouts and swings,
- Or the man who plays the organ or the other man who sings?
- Or what about the rabbit man with rabbits in his pockets
- And what about a rocket man who's always making rockets?
- Oh it's such a lot of things there are and such a lot to be
- That there's always lots of cherries on my little cherry tree.
Even though this was another era, where few women worked outside the home...Women worked hard then and continue to do so!! No matter what you do for work, whether you get a paycheck or not, you are a worker. Have a great Labor Day and RELAX! You've earned it!
