HIS MANTLE—DISMANTLED

HIS MANTLE—DISMANTLED

 

A lot of equipment stored,

Is going by the board…

What will be kept

And not dissect,

And can the company this afford?

–

The insides are being dismantled,

Deluxe water treatment cancelled…

What to do with tanks,

Machines and banks

Of electrical switches unmanacled?   

–

Good equipment can be sold,

Other stuff is really too old…

Into the dumpster

Recycled and done, sir,

Into bed frames, I’m told.
