Graveyard Shift

A tribute to the night workers.

By Joe PattersonPublished 4 years ago 1 min read

Dedicated to the people with a night gift. They stay up late hours working on the night shift.

We think first and second shift have the havoc hours, but it’s really night shift who has the baddest hours.

I always tell myself they have to be the toughest, because the hours that they work have got to be the roughest.

During the time of day when freaks like to creep, people are out working instead of getting sleep.

You really have to be a different type of strong to punch that late clock working all night long.

I want ask you do these hours effect you. Yeah, but you keep going, that’s why I respect you.

For the workers on the third I’d like to thank y’all swift. Much respect to you for working on the graveyard shift.
