Child Labor--Castro's Proletarian Prescription. (a limerick)(20000419-01)
    Big Labor sings loudly its tune 
    that NAFTA's a bane not a boon.
    When kids work for money 
    to help dad and mommy 
    but not when they work for communes.
    Among those so eager to tell 
    young Elian to join Juan Miguel,
    where's the outrage 
    that at a young age, 
    tobacco he'll chop for Fidel?
    We might have no choice but to send 
    the poor kid to Cuba again,
    but let's not pretend 
    it's wrong to condemn 
    the things that will happen to him.
    When our fam'ly-farm agriculture 
    could use all the help it could muster,
    the kids worked long hours 
    as tillers and plowers 
    to help their own fam'lies do better.
    But even in those bygone times, 
    folks would have thought it a crime
    for gov'ment to say 
    kids must go away 
    to give gov'ment all of their time.
