A Boys Life

April 8th 1972 Means more to me than to most of you it was 46 years ago on a beautiful morn In the country of Bratwust Is where I was born My dad was in the Army and my mom tagged along On the way to the hospital things went all wrong Their bags were all packed and the all the boxes were checked When a car jumped the median and caused quite a wreck The car was destroyed, for the Audi they mourned Medics took mom to the hospital and a fat baby boy was born. The teen years were rough as the young boy grew up Braces and glasses and a terrible haircut Eventually, he outgrew that mold And a handsome young man began to unfold Then from school onto work is where his life lead His dreams of a career began to get fed Electrons, Receptacles, switches and fuses These were the things, these were his muses He knew where to go, there was no confusion. Drove downtown and joined the Union This takes us to today and made my selection. But it's all better now working as a Union electrician
