Pebbles

The little stack of pebbles A long way from the ground Taken from the quarry To a new driveway was bound In the lorry went Through the gates of the house Its loud engine frightened everything From the chicken to the mouse Dumped onto the road The pile of stones poured out And this little stack of pebbles Found themselves in doubt One new beginning lay ahead A life of glitz and glam But when the hailstorm washed them down The pebbles cried “oh, damn!”
