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!”
