A Workingman's Christmas

 RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR:  CHRISTMAS

 

Working Man’s Christmas

 

It’s Christmas for the working man

A time of joy and cheer

A time to listen to the band

Forget your worries and your fears

 

For other folks on Christmas Day

They’ll celebrate the past

The working folks must find a way

To make their Christmas last

 

Some will work into the night

To pay for these few hours

A second job to make it right

To build those Lego towers

 

It’s Christmas time for everyone

For Tom and Bill and Alice

The children must all have their fun

So grab the silver chalice

 

And raise a toast to the giving season

Give the workers what they need

For everyone must have a reason

To overcome their daily greed
