Linemans Paradise.
AS usual. Monday morning
I dropped in to see the chief.
And asked how many troubles
Were waiting for relief.
She said: ''well, for wonder
There's only very few,
The only one that's really out
Is 11S ring @"
So down went to get my Ford
And cranked. and cranked. and crank
Until at last I noticed
That 1t had an empty tank.
But very soon I filled the tank
And cranked her up agin,
And much to my astonishment.

neighbor fixed our phone"

why Sir" she proudly said to me,

But I'll say right now that I described
A lineman's Paradise.
