Default to all fellow scaffs

who would be a scaffolder
up and down all day
who would want to do it
for the meagre pay

up our pole ladders
up onto your roof
scaffold round your chimney
up aloft aloof

scaffold round
an office block
a cathedral spire
a town hall clock

up the side
of a busy factory
all boarded safe
and satisfactory

tubular technicians
access engineers
brainy old fellows
full of ideas

nerves of steel
they know no fear
an eye for the ladys
a thirst for the beer

scaffolders are
a special breed
strong as horses
fearless in deed

cheers all H

PW,

Morning Treacle, don't know if you've ever seen it but there's a book of offshore poetry and one in it entitled 'The Scaffolder'. The name of the book escapes me right now, but it was a fair depiction.

Maybe Master Adams can shed some light on this?
It was written by one of our Brothers north of the border whilst offshore in the North Sea.

Mr H, nice poem by the way mate!

Cheers,
Phil.
