A Holiday, Forgot
She saw the train as she stepped out her car
Then ran like hell to board before doors shut
She flailed her arms and legs like crazy, but
The station proved to be a bit too far...
Her thoughts turned dark; she'd be let go for sure
What should she tell her kids about her job
She bit her lip to think of how they'd sob
How would she make ends meet, she'd be so poor
Just then she smiled and suddenly snapped to
This was a special day that she'd forgot
A holiday for which she'd so long fought
Reprieves from fate are often far too few
A Merry Christmas in July to her and you!
