The space
needle of towering steel
Is a thrilling sight to see
An architectural dream, that’s real
To this you must agree.
But we’ve an
accomplishment, too
A space needle in
miniature to view.
It’s seventy
five inches tall
Constructed of
rock, donated by all.
There’s
petrified wood, agate, onyx and thulite too
Cut to scale, polished and put together
with glue.
A novel attraction! A time race
To be ready for our show
“Gems in Space”
By Hildegard Dalsing
Our space
needle – an attraction it will be.
That’s for
sure, all must and shall see.
But who knows
of all the hours of toil
Spent in
burning that midnight oil?
Or the
tempers that now and then flared
And
all the ground fingers that were bared.
Those that
did the planning, sawing, fitting
And polishing
sure had a lot of fun visiting
And
joshing.
For
‘dog-gone’ our hides, were busting with
“Our Space
Needle” pride.

Lynette Dalsing
