Used to be Washington and Lincoln
Birthdays of distinction…
Separate were
Celebrated for,
Each their own fame without linking.
–
Then to reduce off days,
History meaningless in ways…
Three-day weekends
Popular trends,
Became governmental mainstays.
–
Since little history’s taught,
Long weekends are fraught….
Ignorant of meaning
No student gleaning,
Much more that a party onslaught!
