winter joy?

There is joy, in towns and cities

for Christmas there'll be snow

despondency in the country side

where townies never go





they don't have stock to keep

through long winter nights

hands all cracked and bleeding

and taps all frozen tight





as the snow lays thicker

Townies can't get about

there is no deliveries

and the fuel runs out





then they think of farmers

with tractors and a snow plough

they'll wish farmers merry Christmas

and appreciate them now
