Sense Sonnet - Pumper

 The Brooklyn Bridge

Engineers, John and Washington

Roebling in 1883

Began to build, father and son,

The Brooklyn Bridge, their dream to be.

A tragic  building accident

Sadly did take the life of John.

Paralysis was consequent

For Washington, but he kept on,

His fingers being only way

To communicate, he tapped out

Building instructions ev'ry day

Till the Brooklyn Bridge came about.

It took thirteen more years to do,

And father and son's dream came true.
