Paulus November 5, 2021 at 4:04 pm Oh stony grey concrete of Roadstone Foundations you’re off to create. Toot your horn when passing by Paddy On your way to some housing estate.

Redundant Proofreaders Society November 5, 2021 at 4:58 pm Well Paulus we are not poets, But your compliment is most kind. Channelling Paddy is rather exhausting, We’re off to McDaid’s for a pint.

‘You told me the concrete-mixer was immortal!
O green-life conquering concrete-mixer!’
Oh stony grey concrete of Roadstone
Foundations you’re off to create.
Toot your horn when passing by Paddy
On your way to some housing estate.
That’s brilliant!
You clogged the view of my sculpture
With your mixer and greedy loud rumble
You fling a hotel on our culture
My bench is a dwelling more humble
Ah fair play; you’ve upped the literary bar there :)
Well Paulus we are not poets,
But your compliment is most kind.
Channelling Paddy is rather exhausting,
We’re off to McDaid’s for a pint.
Aye the cement trucks roll by in twos and threes
On Raglan Roadstone.
Ah jeez, everyone’s on a roll this evening.
Excellent work all round. Take the evening off everyone!

I do not think of you lying in the wet cement.
