Christmas in the Shop
« on: December 24, 2012, 03:53:28 pm »
Twas the day before Christmas out in the shop
All the presents were finished and the floor was mopped

The tables were all polished with two coats of paste
And the tools were all hung in their proper place

I in my sweatshirt and wool sock hat
Sat down in the chair, petting Scruffy the cat

He has taken up residence and gotten so bold
?Cause outside the weather had turned real cold

He ate some food and came back to my lap
I knew right then that he wanted to nap

I put him down and went back to my work
Cleaning and wiping each cranny and nook

I wanted the shop to be spotless this day
Tonight Santa would  arrives in his sparkling sleigh.

A clean shop is a safe shop so I have been told
So safety is first so I can continue to scroll

Now to all of my friends who like to scroll
Make safety first  so you can grow old

The time is  late and Santa is near
Merry Christmas to all and to all a safe year
