Writing on Stone Finally Deciphered

What important message did it contain?

Writing on Stone Finally Deciphered

 

By Elton Camp

 

In the ruins of an ancient city it was found

But, no expert could its meaning expound

 

But visitors to the museum were all told

That the key to a great mystery it did hold

 

The carving was done in a very precise way

Likely, an important message it would convey

 

Perhaps to understanding the past it was a key

So there were many attempts its meaning to see

 

The stone was a type that dampness could resist

Why for such quality did the city’s builder insist?

 

Perhaps since the message would last thru the age

Until it was understood by some brilliant sage?

 

Finally, to the museum, an archaeologist came

Who, in deciphering writing, had a great name

 

The stone and its writing he studied for a year

A meeting was held, his conclusions to hear

 

“I’ve found the stone is from a public toilet wall.

And the writing is only a list of easy girls to call.”
