Christmas Giving

When you tip the burdened postman,

     And they surely burdened are,

How about the cramped conductor

     On the crowded Christmas car?

When you hand your fare this morning,

     ‘Tis a trifling thing to do,

Drop an extra nickel, wishing

     Him a Merry Christmas too.

O, the janitor’s deserving,

     And the newsboys always are;

Also is the cramped conductor

     On the crowded Christmas car.
