(42) April 6, 2010: Construction 2: Pebble On The Eiffel Tower

CONSTRUCTION 2: PEBBLE ON THE EIFFEL TOWER

Start with a pebble the size of your thumb,
Paint it with Skin-Of-A-Plum,
Dab it with juice
  All sticky and green,
Feathers of goose,
  And one string bean.

Take it to Paris and climb every stair,
Clear to the top but beware,
Eiffel is tall
  And balance a trick.
Don't let it fall,
  Just make it stick.

D. Edgar Lamp
