A Fine Disregard for Awkward Facts

The concrete block industry

Isn’t all that it could be

Every single product made

And every single block laid

Have right angles: top and side

Rectangular: so long, so wide

The facts of the matter are just this,

So what about it did you miss?

All your fancy, and new fangled

Ideas  propose block triangled?

Your disregard for status quo

Now you’re bound to let us know

These awkward facts are very hard

To ignore or disregard!

There is room for much improvement

Time to show us just what you meant.
