Nice Management

Our contract is coming up. So far, I think we need most to address the fact that morale is very low. They did away with the company party and the trips to Elitch's years ago. They have decided that we have to give them a doctors excuse if we have been out more than 2 days. They NEVER change their mind when we file a grievance. There is a long list of nasty things that have been done to various people.

We need a kinder, gentler management at RTD.

Saxon Wives

As I was going to St Ives,
I met a man with seven wives.
Seven wives had seven sacks,
Seven sacks with seven cats,
Seven cats had seven kits.
Kits, cats, sacks, and wives:
How many were going to St Ives?

My Green Fedora

I'm wearing my green fedora,
Fedora
Not Alice, not Annie, not Casey but Fedora
I usually come to town in a battered old hat of brown
But it got red/green when me and my queen go steppin' around.

She's Fussy about colors,
She's very I think,
But if she won't fix it,
Might even wear pink.

That's why I wear my green fedora.

Fedora.
Fedora is the girl I love

"I'm Wearin' My Green Fedora" is a popular song from 1935 written by songwriters, Al Sherman, Al Lewis and Joseph Meyer. It was written for the short animated film, My Green Fedora, directed by Friz Freleng and produced by Leon Schlesinger. Chuck Jones and Robert Clampett were the animators. The film was released in the United States on May 4, 1935. It is considered one of the best cartoons featuring a parody of comedic actor Joe Penner.
The song appears in several other cartoons of the 1930s, including "Toy Town Hall" and "The Woods Are Full of Cuckoos".
