We are 3 or more jestering monkeys, summoning the spirit and general flair of our favorite american newscaster. We will discuss, debate and debase all things that tingle our tummies - sex, politics, music, culture and of course - sex. And politics.

Joe Hill - Wobblie Organizer and People's Poet

19 Nov 1915
Joe Hill
IWW Organizer
Poet
Song Writer
Was murdered by the State of Utah

My will is easy to decide
for there is nothing to divide
My kin don't need to fuss and moan
Moss doesn't cling to a rolling stone
My body?
Ahh if I could choose
I would to ashes it reduce
and let the merry breezes blow
my dust to where some flowers grow
Perhaps some fading flower then will spring to life
and bloom again
This is my last and final will
Good luck to all of you
Joe Hill

Written in his prison cell the night before his
execution

Don't Mourn ORGANIZE
