IN THE WALLS



THEY LABORED !
                        THEY CHORED!
                          IN THE WALLS:
                          IN THE WALLS!
               THEY USED ROUGH TIMBER
                WITH POLES TO EACH END
                  SANDBAGS AND ADOBE
                          IN THE WALLS!
                          IN THE WALLS!
                     ARCHED EDGES FOR
                  WINDOWS AND DOORS
                            IN THE WALLS
               WITH ADOBE THEY CHORED
                            IN THE WALLS!
                            IN THE WALLS!
               THEY COVERED THE OUTSIDE
                AWAY FROM THE ELEMENTS
                 LAYED CEMENT AND STONE
            THE BEAUTY OF THE SPECIMENT
             THEY CHORED AND LABORED
             BAGS AND CEMENT AND STONE!
