The Provider
Donning his bright yellow rainslicker slow
For it was wet, cold, and wind did blow
That old slicker was a gift from an ol' employee
The other side looked like the Marlboro cowboye
The provider felt a strong sense of responsibility
So out into the elements and night he did go
Bills to pay and Christmas presents needed, so
Shoulders bent against the wind one more day
The job he faced again, struggling against
Cost of inflationary trends, needs the job to end
Our deficeit getting higher, prices still rage
Elderly though he be, he loves his family
