Harp, The Harrowed Angles Sting

Category: default || By jt3y

Some carols for our time, performed by Boy Scout Troop 147 of the Port Perry United Reformed Presbylutheran Church:









 






The first water main

On Sunday was broke,

It wasn't fixed 'til Wednesday

And that is no joke.

West Mifflin was dry,

And Munhall was, too.

They couldn't take showers

Or go to the loo.

No well, no well

No well, no well

They had no water 'cause they had no well.

O, little town of Wilmerding,

By Turtle Creek you lie.

Beneath the Bridge Street overpass

The rusty trains go by.

But in the Airbrake shineth

A flashing neon light:

The Sub Alpine Society

Has half-price beer tonight.

: : :












 






They keep North Huntingdon's highways clear

Those bright yellow trucks with salt,

Without them scraping the ice and snow

The traffic all would halt.

From Barnes Lake Road to the county line,

They push all the slush away.

We wish they woulda stayed home last night,

'Cause we have school today.

Suddenly I’m glad that I never bothered to upgrade the cheap speakers which came with my computer…
