Posterity
by
John William McGrath III
A few people were watching bricklayers
They were so fast and proficient
An interesting operation with many players
Each did well and were so efficient
As I watched a gentleman dropped a quarter
I saw it and thought to make the call
Just then a man scooped it up in the mortar
To my amazement it became part of the wall
