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.”
