Fill My Shoes

ive heard a lot of people say 
                        they would like to be in my shoes today 
                        they would like to go to work at the place called jeep 
                        but let me tell you one thing son 
                        it really is not too much fun 
                        because in here you sow more than you reap 
                         you work from dawn to setting sun 
                         the work day here is never done 
                         you work until your back and feet are sore 
                          after a long and hectic day 
                          you cant go out and even play 
                          your body just wont take it anymore 
                          so if you think it is your quirk 
                          to come to jeep and go to work 
                          where you will almost surely get the blues 
                          and you think it will be fun 
                          then let me tell you one thing son 
                         come to jeep and you can fill my shoes

Nicely written tribute to the many people male and female that gave their life to factory produced goods. Keep writing. Sara
