(For my old mate Kevin Blackburn) Bentonite is magic When mixed in slurry form, And injected into apertures Where earth worms are the norm. The slurry forms a barrier Which holds the concrete, wet, Quite apart from earthen surfaces To give exactly what you get. YOU GET NO CONTAMINATION YOU GET CONCRETE DRYING CLEAN YOU GET SMOOTH GREYISH SURFACES WHICH COULD BE PARCELED TO THE QUEEN! So when constructing tunnels Or massive footings bare Or reinforced deep piling Which extends way down to there, You MUST pour in the Bentonite In slippery, slurry form To keep the concrete looking Sparkling clean, as is the norm. Then.... YOU GET NO CONTAMINATION YOU GET CONCRETE NICE AND CLEAN YOU GET BEAUTIFUL GREY SURFACES SHINING BRIGHTLY FOR THE QUEEN!
