As hips are bent with backs so low <br />The world sees builders’ bums on show <br />There’s lots of them both large and small <br />Belonging to builders short and tall <br />Variety’s the spice of life <br />And builders’ bums are getting rife <br />‘Tis ‘cos their trousers ‘r cut too short <br />Around the waist there’s no support <br />Their tums they sag above the belt <br />But builders’ bums are never felt! ! <br />Left cheek, right cheek, lumbar dip <br />Theres many grins and many quips <br />The poor old builder may get cold <br />If when he bends his bum gets bold <br />And if he’s large his cheeks will move <br />Around his trousers – very smooth! <br />Some viewers may enjoy the sight <br />But most onlookers get a fright <br />The wind it howls around about <br />Why do all builders have to tout <br />their bums in public when they bow? <br />I really, really don’t know how <br />And yet this curious sight we see <br />Is not restricted to you and me <br />It seen in Europe, America too <br />In Africa, India, and Timbuctoo <br />Builders’ bums may seem such fun <br />But think of it burnt by the sun! ! <br />And of the pain poor chaps must feel <br />And then their bums of skin may peel! <br />But remember this ‘bout bums, now hark <br />They’re very good for bikes to park! <br />So next time builders bum you see <br />Keep hands to self – act modestly! !<br /><br />Frank Ian Bowen<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/builders-bums/
