CONCRETE LOVE

Two cement contractors met on the job,

And it was love at first site.

They poured out their feelings,

And bonded mortar tight.

They had great aggregate,

And mixed together well.

They were both curing people,

Even the hardened could tell.

He was smooth as a trowel finish,

But rebar strong inside.

He proposed by the the cubic yard,

And she became his bride.

Their love for each other matured,

Each one was a perfect spouse.

And in no time at all they had,

A little sidewalk running around the house.
