EDICATED To the machinist, the lathe-hand, welder and smith- To those who know the temper of steel, the cherry-red Of bar in forge, the blinding flash of welder's rod- And to those whose keen eye follows the tool As it cuts its curious curl, its precise thread, its gleaming shaft- - To those who grow drowsy Watching the shoper's monotonous shuttling To and fro, shaping, smoothing, grinding, groaning- And to the man whose whirling drill Worms its slender way slowly through its work, Gnawing, screeching, humming at success- To those of you who cut gears and ream channels, Who know the hardness of steel, the patience of mon. To those nursemaids to motors, tracers of trouble- Grinders of valves and liners of brakes- To dispensers of gas, wipers of windshields, Checkers of oil, testers of timing- To those who love the engine's quiet purr, Who know the million mysteries of a car- To him whose wrenches are his keys To all the hidden complicated maze- To men who are greasy and grimy and like it Whose ears are keen detectors of trouble- To him at the bench with gadgets galore And to him with a wrench, nothing more- To the men of the motors, masters and menders. To the builders, workers of wood, millhands, constructors all- To those who know the secrets of the square, saw to the line And drive their nails to the rhythm of a tune- To the men wha work with wood, breathe its dust, Know its grain, and love the smell of pine- And to those who daily hear the scream of saws, Whir of planer, hum of lathe- To those readers of blue-prints, Plotters of rafters, makers of chips- To men who rip and saw, plane and sand. To filers of sows, layers of floors, drivers of lath- To all the builders, All who work and sweat with wood, live with tools. To Gur First Group of OC TIONA GRAD ATES
