THE ICEMAN
You may talk of your heroes, of
men bold and brave, you may talk
of your Lindbergh, and Ford, you
may talk of your statesmen and
diplomats too. and of men who have
lived by the sword, you may talk of
great monarchs and friends of the
weak, who have fought for and
righted the wrongs, of the down
trodden mass, but they're not in the
class, of the feller's that handle the
tongs.
From sun up till dark, every day of
the week, you will hear their gay
whistle and songs, and life seems
much brighter, your burden much
lighter, from knowing the men with
the tongs.
Why can't we all be as cheerful
and gay, when knowing that life it
prolongs; and proclaim with a smile
that life is worth while, like the
feller's that handle the tongs.
