Joe Hill
-Will no one rid me of these mettlesome Joe Hills!
-Lit AND history,Boss! You de man! Allusion King!
-Yeah it broke my cheapskate father’s ass to send me to Harvard. Too bad he’s no longer around to see a payoff.
-Rookie wants to find out who Joe Hill was.
-Played at the club once. Five holes on the left before he collapsed.
-Well just put today’s bland versions of him out of mind! Whatever could they
do to us? We’ve bought the executive,legislative,and judicial...to understate.
-Yeah I remember that trio from prep school civics. What a dreamworld that was!
Talk about Pie in the Sky!
-Well,Peace is wonderful–even if expensive for you,Boss.
-But you know,that really WAS some war way back then! And Joe and his buddies?
Formidable warriors before we got Utah to officially off him. “Murdered by the
Capitalistic Class,” somebody wrote later--didn’t know his Emily Post.
You don’t say such things even if true. Today we deal with a super polite America,
where John Q is scared shitless by Government and Church.
-Amen!...Amen Amen I say to you that...
-Anyway! It’s all ancient history,this war between Capital and Labor.
Agreed? Good! Now would anyone care to guess who won?
