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.

excellent work. But tell me: do you have any idea what a cubic yard of concrete weighs? Quite a bit. If there is ANY stage of construction that shouldn't be messed around with it is the one you describe. There is a firm in LA which specializes in cleaning up concrete spills, which happen when the molds and casts are incorrectly constructed. An accident resulting in several hundred tons of concrete to spill out of a mold can easily cost millions of dollars in repair, cleanup and damages. And women don't have a mind for that sort of thing anyway. Good work.
