The Two Bums
In light of our current political obstructionism by those who would protect the narrow interest of the rich over everyone else, it's apt to remember this old poem:
The bum on the rods is hunted down as an enemy of mankind
The other is driven around to his club, is feted, wined and dined
And they who curse the bum on the rods as the essence of all that's bad
Will greet the other with a willing smile and extend a hand so glad
The bum on the rods is a social flea who gets an occassional bite
The bum on the plush is a social leech, bloodsucking day and night
The bum on the rods is a load so light that his weight we scarcely feel
But it takes the labour of dozens of folks to furnish the other a meal
As long as we sanction the bum on the plush the other will always be there
But rid ourselves of the bum on the plush and the other will dissappear
Then make an intelligent organised kick get rid of the weights that crush
Dont worry about the bum on the rods get rid of the bum on the plush
The bum on the rods is hunted down as an enemy of mankind
The other is driven around to his club, is feted, wined and dined
And they who curse the bum on the rods as the essence of all that's bad
Will greet the other with a willing smile and extend a hand so glad
The bum on the rods is a social flea who gets an occassional bite
The bum on the plush is a social leech, bloodsucking day and night
The bum on the rods is a load so light that his weight we scarcely feel
But it takes the labour of dozens of folks to furnish the other a meal
As long as we sanction the bum on the plush the other will always be there
But rid ourselves of the bum on the plush and the other will dissappear
Then make an intelligent organised kick get rid of the weights that crush
Dont worry about the bum on the rods get rid of the bum on the plush

Fundraiser, August 2nd at 7pm!
Come join us as we show off the great acoustics at the State Fairgrounds Labor Pavilion! This show is to raise funds for our fall recording, as well as to benefit labor community services. We'll be reprising some of the May 10th show, including the Ford Music, as well as having famous labor speeches performed by members of the Lex-Ham Community Theater. Suggested donation is $10 per person or $25 per local union. We hope to see you there! You can RSVP on Facebook by clicking here!
The Labor Pavilion is at the corner of Dan Patch Ave. and Cooper Street, just as you enter the Fairgrounds through the main entrance on Snelling Avenue.
Here is a link to the Lex-Ham Community Theater site!
