Bob The Trowel. An Ode To A Friend.

Bob and the travelling plastering trowel.
Bob the trowel was "Dog-Gone" Good.
England, Germany and the U.S.Of A.
Bob and his trowel made their merry way.

Bob the trowel was up with the lark,
Bob the trowel would work till dark.
Skimming and rendering, night and day!
Bob the trowel knew how to work, rest and play.

Upon the scaffold; down on the floor.
Screed that floor; then out the door.
Scrim some joints; a reveal or two,
All the jobs, Bob the trowel could do.

The trowel like Bob has earned his rest!
In Bobs shed the trowel is laid to rest.
Bob and the trowel, no more to work!
Everything as turned out; just like clockwork...
