Oh no! <br />There has been an oversight. <br />A little loophole. <br /> <br />When applying the bricks, <br />To fortify contents inside the compound... <br />The blueprint we have 'just' been presented, <br />Indicates... <br />There was no cement mentioned, <br />To hold the bricks together. <br /> <br />In fact, <br />None had been used. <br />It's here in print. <br />How can the makers of the compound, <br />Skip over that? <br /> <br />How those bricks held together, <br />Is a mystery. <br /> <br />Therefore... <br />Those reported comments earlier stated, <br />About a fighting against gale enforced winds. <br />And people risking their lives, <br />To sandbag walls to prevent them from caving in... <br />Has to be re-written. <br />Or at least, <br />Retold! <br /> <br />And... <br />This is an opportunity to enhance the struggle, <br />Against the opposition. <br />And a prior status given... <br />To the ones declared as putting their lives on the line. <br />This time around, <br />We will announce they've been true heroes! <br /> <br />'How about... <br />A slinging of mud thrown viciously, <br />That disrupted into a fierce and brave retaliation? ' <br /> <br />I love it. <br />Sounds good to me. <br />Release 'that' immediately. <br />Oh... <br />And add something about a dog. <br />Appearing from nowhere... <br />Wearing infrared goggles. <br />And somehow... <br />Managed to drag survivors to safety! <br />That should take the focus off of the cementless bricks.<br /><br />Lawrence S.
