Day twenty two

People wanna party

They fought for their right to party

They don’t wanna hear about wages and taxes and how the rich gets richer  

They just wanna get together, have a beer or two, relax and chill, nice and easy

Let them know we are taking care of all that; working smart, partying hard

They….they just wanna meet a few people, have some small talk, maybe a boogie, flirt a little, maybe a few more beers, maybe a line or two, you know, relax and chill, nice and easy

They don’t wanna hear about the bees or the birds or the soil or the climate or the farmers and the workers and the teachers or the nurses or the doctors or…

Oh maybe the nurses…clap for them…Yes and let’s throw them a party!

They work hard, we work smart, we all need a party, relax and chill, nice and easy

Yes a party! wine in paper boxes, in paper cups; paper cheese sandwiches in paper bread; paper table covers, paper bibs…

For them I mean…for us BYOBs

They fought for their right to party 

They voted for their right to party

They voted for our right to party
