'Flotation Men'

A poetic memory/tribute to a memorable workforce, relationships and friends.

C Shift

'Flotation Men'

Whatever trade... work experience:

C shift, and others, were presence;      

'Brickie man' was... other skills too...

Multiple abilities, certainly not few! 

Abounding talent throughout workforce,

Came from so many sources of course...

Applied intently, and with humour too!

'Call of duty: each employee t' pursue! 

Those years came while passing so soon:

Workers' acclimatising ready to assume,

Three shift systems were there cycling;

Income is accumulating... happy t' sing. 

Happy times; memories to reflect on,

Determination, always our selection,

Shift memories being for the better;

'Alginate' shift work was top-letter!
