The origin of words I see
Has always fascinated me
Now here is one we all do know
It's SABOTAGE I choose to show.

A wooden shoe in French, you know,
Is just a simple word SA- BO (sabot)
A bunch of workers were real mad
About conditions that they had

So they decided on that day
Their anger to express this way:
They tossed their shoes into the works
To show their bosses they were jerks.

That word, it's meaning ...TO DESTROY..
Is now the one that we employ.
