The exercise:

Today's prompt is: Labour Day. Sometimes it's best to go with the glaringly obvious. Especially during times when creativity is apparently taking a vacation with the rest of the nation.

Mine:

We do not work on Labour Day;
We do not fight on Boxing Day;
So why do we name them this way?

On Labour Day we celebrate
The working class' hard earned fate -
And it's summer's last camping date.

On Boxing Day (or is it Week?)
We honor our poor and our meek.
But really? It's the sales we seek.
