Raise High the Roof Beam, Carpenters

 We must celebrate the great accomplishment of Bob Walmsley and his band of Muscled Warriors in establishing the second and last roof on Deming's Yellow House.

 With finesse unparalleled, they fearlessly mounted the roof, as if going into battle.

Tools aplenty they wore around their waists.

Some smoked cigarettes, whose plumes seemed to touch the sky.

All drank bottled water, gulping it down, glug glug glug, to refresh their parched throats.

Coffee, too, the great energizer of the Western World, was consumed in small cups - that's all you need - and these fourteen warriors carried on, joking and laughing, many in the Spanish language.

We thank the Almighty that these good men have work, know the value of hard work, and will save money for their children to go to college and take up chemistry or international trade or the culinary arts.

Not to mention horticulture.

Shall I plant a garden on my roof?
