THE STATE OF THE UNIONS

A union needs strategic planning
For nowadays to just survive
It cannot get along by banning
Nonunion workers from the hive.
So businessmen hypothesizing
Where to begin economizing
Might then be met at every turn
By workers whom they cannot spurn.
When unions turn to politicians
(Who owe the bosses oh so much
Because they have the Midas touch),
They’ll never fulfill their ambitions-
For when you back politicos
You’re always backing status quos.
