Writing On Stone Finally Deciphered

Writing on Stone Finally Deciphered By Elton Camp In the ruins of an ancient city it was found But, no expert could its meaning expound But visitors to the museum were all told That the key to a great mystery it did hold The carving was done in a very precise way Likely, an important message it would convey Perhaps to understanding the past it was a key So there were many attempts its meaning to see The stone was a type that dampness could resist Why for such quality did the city’s builder insist? Perhaps since the message would last thru the age Until it was understood by some brilliant sage? Finally, to the museum, an archaeologist came Who, in deciphering writing, had a great name The stone and its writing he studied for a year A meeting was held, his conclusions to hear “I’ve found the stone is from a public toilet wall. And the writing is only a list of easy girls to call.”
