Melt Verizon's Cold, Cold Heart
A song by David G. Hurlburt©David G. Hurlburt 2005
To the tune of Hank Williams Sr. Cold Cold Heart- [play]
Give Kara De Witt her job back, we make this our solemn vow.
Parents of America shout "Verizon can you hear us Now!"
In October you told her be here each day at her time to start!
Why don't you hire her back today and melt your cold, cold heart!We're here to today because of Kara and all working parents too!
Two infants at home, a husband in Iraq, what is a mother to do?
Stress was overwhelming from work and home just for a start.
Why don't you care about families, and melt your cold, cold heart!She cared for her children alone while she hoped and prayed.
Then not once but many times her husband's return was delayed.
The uncertain feelings of worry would her husband forever part.
Why don't you care about families, and melt your cold, cold heart!When he returned after 19 months and she got Sick and Blue.
She is an amazing woman with all that she went through.
No vacation, or accommodations is that flexibility on your part?
Why don't you care about families, and melt your cold, cold heart!Why is it so hard for Verizon to be fair to their employees.
Let them take the time they need to care for their families.
Hire Kara Back with full back pay would be a very good start
Why don't you care about families and melt your cold, cold heart!
