The Bricklayer's song.
Dear Sir I write this not to you,
To tell you of my plight.
For at the time of writing it,
I'm not a pretty sight.
My body is all black and blue,
My face a deathly grey,
And I write this note to say
Why I am not at work today.
While working on the fourteenth floor,
Some bricks I had to clear.
Tossing them down from such a height,
Was not a good idea.
The foreman was not very pleased,
He is an awkward sod,
And he said I had to cart them
Down the ladders in me hod.
Well clearing all these bricks by hand,
It was so very slow.
So I hoisted up a barrel,
And secured a rope below.
But in my haste to do the job,
I was too blind to see,
That a barrel full of building bricks
Was heavier than me.
And so when I untied the rope,
The barrel fell like lead.
And clinging tightly to the rope,
I started up instead.
I shot up like a rocket,
And to my dismay I found,
That half-way up I met the bloody barrel
Coming down.
The barrel broke my shoulder,
As to the ground it sped.
And when I reached the top,
I banged the pulley with me head.
I clung on tightly numb with shock,
From this almighty blow,
While the barrel spilled out half it's bricks
Some fourteen floors below.
Now when these bricks had fallen,
From the barrel to the floor,
I then out-weighed the barrel,
And so started down once more.
I clung on tightly to the rope,
My body racked with pain,
And half-way down I met
The bloody barrel once again.
The force of this collision,
Half-way down the office block,
Caused multiple abrasions,
And a nasty case of shock.
But I clung on tightly to the rope
As I fell towards the ground,
And I landed on the broken bricks
The barrel had scattered round.
Now as I lay there on the ground,
I thought I'd passed the worst.
But the barrel hit the pulley wheel,
And then the bottom burst.
A shower of bricks rained dowm on me,
I didn't have a hope,
As I lay there bleeding on the ground
I let go the bloody rope.
The barrel now being heavier,
It started down once more.
It landed right across me,
As I lay there on the floor.
It broke three ribs and my left arm,
And I can only say,
That I hope you'll understand
Why I am not at work today.
Roy Williamson.
