Julie Andrews, Mason

Red brick on pallets and freshly filled mortarboards
arches built properly braced with both arc and chords
level and even and bright mason strings
these are a few of my favorite things!

Carved stone gargoyles and huge massive cornerstones
compass and angle or a skull and two crossed bones
high flying buttresses spreading their wings
these are a few of my favorite things!

Sprung arches vaulted by their intradoses
stronger by weight on their own extradoses
inherent strength from the weight that it brings
these are a few of my favorite things!

When the wood rots when the rust rings
when I’m feeling sad
I simply remember
my favorite things
and then I don’t feel so bad!

Red brick on pallets and mortar in wheelbarrow
beds all placed just right not too wide or narrow
level and even and bright mason strings
these are a few of my favorite things!

  1. Just a spoon full of concrete helps the mortarboard go down!
