A Poem from the Hamilton Grit, circa 19

A Tribute to my Dad Harold Carson:
From the Hamilton Grit, February 19, 1949
 
          THE LINEMAN

Up on the storm-swept cross arm, 
There the wind blows wild and free,
A cowhide belt and a chip of steel
‘Twixt him and eternity.

When the thunder peals o’er the tree tops,
And lightning gleams on the hills,
It’s then his work is awaiting him
And he gets plenty of thrills.

When folks in houses cringe and shake
Before the storm has passed,
He handles death at his fingertips
To make the hot wires fast.

One slip of the hand and he’s gone
To at least long days of pain,
But let him get out and sure as sin
He’ll be up on the poles again.

There’s times he holds in his very hands
The life of a pal he loves,
And prays that he fails not in his trust
By a flaw in his rubber gloves.

But for all of that he’s a common guy, 
And very much carefree,
And he’ll stick to you through everything,
The best pal your ever did see.

So sometime in a thunder storm,
When everything goes black,
Just think of the poor guy working hard
To get those hot wires back.
