Disclaimer: The Dragonriders of Pern, and all the ensuing titles therein, are trademarks of Anne and Todd McCaffrey. I am in no way connected with these people, and I do not claim ownership to these characters, lands, or names. I have borrowed them to share a story . . . and most likely not a story either would have written, had they had the time or no. I am making no money from this, and it is just for my entertainment and that of free entertainment to a select group of friends. Thank You.
Distribution: Please ask first?
Setting: Pern, generally during 9th Pass, though one song is speculation.

There
are people on this planet who work hard every day,
And not for
fame or fortune do they strive.
The fruits of their labor are
worth more than their pay,
And it's time a few of them were
recognized.
Hello,
Telgar Smithcraft Worker, let me thank you for your time.
You work
an endless hour turn for a living just to send it on down the
line.
Hello, Weaver Crafthall Worker, let me thank you for your
time.
You work an endless hour turn for a living just to send it
on down the line.
This
is for the one who swings the Hammer, driving home the nail.
For
the one out in the Vineyard, bringing in the ale.
For the
Herdsman, the Trader, the one who keeps us Hale.
For everyone who
fixes the Machines.
You
can see them every morning in the Kitchens, on the Roads,
In all
the Holds and the far off Dragon Weyrs.
Working together and
striving on their own,
They do their best through smiles and
through tears.
Hello,
Fisher Crafthall Worker, let me thank you for your time.
You work
an endless hour turn for a living just to send it on down the
line.
Hello, Miner Crafthall Worker, let me thank you for your
time.
You work an endless hour turn for a living just to send it
on down the line.
This
is for the one who blows the Glass. The one who Farms the land,
For
the one that maps the Heavens. For Harper's gifted hands.
For the
Tanner, the Printer, the Baker with his pans.
For everyone who
shares the Dolphin Dream.
With
a spirit and a pride that you can see.
Hello to All of Pern.
Let
me thank you for your time.
