Replying to a comment on:

Concrete (Concrete) by beakism

The builder lays his tools on the ground And calls for his mates, a booming sound His mates pour cement into the mixer A woman comes along and the builder kicks her Because women don't belong on a building site They should stay at home and keep out of sight The builder and his mates pour gravel in the cement They push a mate in because they found out he was bent The mixer turns round at a steady rate While waiting for it to finish, the builder leans on a gate Finally the mixer's finished and the job is complete The builder has a load of freshly made concrete.

Like I said, you just need to say a few words quite quickly, and it all falls into place. And I'll thank you not to describe me as bigoted or hypocritical - if you actually thought about the poem, you'd realise it was a commentary about how the uneducated (signified by the builder and his mates) view women and homosexuals. Quite clearly, the poem can't be taken seriously, so anyone with any sense would realise it is an ironic social commentary.
