After weeks of troubled
dreams he woke to find
He'd become a leading authority on gravel.
If his life depended on it, he could not
Pretend to mistake lag gravel for pea gravel.
Bored beyond endurance, he listened
To his voice explaining why Krumbein phi
Is a better scale to use than Udden-Wentworth
When talking about sibiclastic rock.
(He often talked about sibiclastic rock
Until none there were who'd listen.)
When he came to his sad end, driveways
For miles around were draped in black.
He'd become a leading authority on gravel.
If his life depended on it, he could not
Pretend to mistake lag gravel for pea gravel.
Bored beyond endurance, he listened
To his voice explaining why Krumbein phi
Is a better scale to use than Udden-Wentworth
When talking about sibiclastic rock.
(He often talked about sibiclastic rock
Until none there were who'd listen.)

For miles around were draped in black.
