Groundwork
Who
mixed the concrete?
Who
laid the mix?
Who
measured the gap?
Who
chose the fix?
Who
cut the plank?
Who
boiled the pitch?
Who
arrived first?
Who
last to ditch?
Who
made the plans?
Who
worked the longest?
Who
was paid most?
Who was
the strongest?
Who
will come next?
What
will they bring?
What
will it cost?
To
this tune who will sing?
Will
ever they meet?
Will
meetings be chaired?
What
of the outcome?
Who
really cares?
