The Rural Electric Co-Op’s Giant Christmas Tree

 

Christmas trees are a delight to a child

On the farm, situational poverty

In muck and filth, old coat against the cold

Finishing the milking long hours after dark

 

But to the east a Christmas tree, a hope

The electric co-op’s radio mast

Its guy wires strung with multi-colored lights

The North Pole must be something like that

 

Christmas trees are a delight to a child

And even more when the child becomes a man
