The idea was unique enough
The designer renowned
The location perfect
Time Tables agreed
Schedules formed
Site offices constructed
The steel posts went in
The concrete poured
The building took shape
The foremen looked a little disturbed
Some doors didn’t hang right – Some windows didn’t fit
The builders carried on unperturbed
There were birds and squirrels nesting in it
The Owners looked a little nerved
Questions from the bank – had to be swerved
On opening day, visitors were turned away
The architect’s team – looked on in dismay
The architect himself – developed a frown
The builders had been reading – the plans upside down
