For all the people i have worked with, in the near by towns, cities and from far distance lands.

I love working in the Press shop,

With all the Press shop boys,

I love working with the oil and the steel,

Making lots of noise,

The blanks of steel, Go in the machine at one end,

They come out the other, formed and shaped,

Then they get shipped, all over the world,

They'll be one on your car ;mate,

 

I can't see myself anywhere else,

It really is quite great,

When the whisle blows,

We know it's time for our break,

The people are really friendly,

They'll help you, if your stuck,

And when there's overtime on,

You can make an extra buck.

 

ALL TOGETHER NOW,!!!

I LOVE WORKING IN THE PRESS SHOP,

WITH ALL THE PRESS SHOP BOYS,

I LOVE WORKING WITH THE OIL AND THE STEEL,

MAKING LOTS OF NOISE.

John, this proves that there is enjoyment in whatever we do if we do it as if onto the Lord. My husband is a busy body too,workaholic you might say, so I can relate to this verse very well! Quite a vivid write! Thanks!...Frances

Thanks for letting me know you might have made a part for my car. Didn't realize the work that goes into steel and press shops. You informed me something new with this write. I like to learn educational things at age 63, I need to learn new things and keep on trecking alone.

Gratefully,

Be always safe,

Three cheers and hooray! I guess you really love your job, enough to sing about it. I could sort of hear, "Henry the eighth I am as I was reading it. ~ Sara
