The Get-A-Job Tree

Many of you may remember a sacharin-sweet book by Shel Silverstein, called "The Giving Tree". A few days ago, my older son (David Ricardo Palmer) posted this amusing variant of that book's cover on Facebook:

GetAJobTree

Seems a little less touching than The Giving Tree, but also a bit more realistic. Reminds me a bit of Pierre Trudeau's response to some protestors back in the 70s.
