There was once a scab named Joe

Whom looked for work were the pickets did go

He lived his own golden age

On double the normal wage

Until a starved Wobblie cracked his head with a Hoe

Another Limerick, I read that during the 1920's Industrial communities had a very healthy folk culture often revolving around strikes and disputes with bosses and coppers, so I though I'd give it a try.

Inspiration came from Utah Phillips rendition of Casey Jones (Union Scab) [link] (sorry couldn't find that version online)

Oh and the tone I'm going for is darkly comic as all good limericks should be.
