AN ODE ON LORNA'S RETIREMENT
by Helen & Verna
On the 14,965th morn
This little redhead's job was born
I've worked & toiled every day
A very small sum was my pay
Stashed what I could in my big blue trunk
And opened it up when some one was sunk
The Easter rush was always bad
And when it was over I was really glad
I'd need a rest and away I'd go
I would shuffle off to Buffalo
I looked for a man one who was rich
Never could find him to make a pitch
Summer would come and mothers dropped in
With bratty kids with drool on their chin
I'd need another rest you see
But alas I found trips aren't free
And then the Christmas rush was on
My complaints of Eatons go on and on
As Christmas help I was hired
After 41 years I was really tired
That big red "E" on my forehead showed
And years later it really glowed
In no time at all it will fade away
Because at last I'm at home to stay
I want to tell you I'm no fool
Cause I'm no longer Eaton's tool.
