5 guys shingling a roof.

Seven o'clock bright an early
they wrestled the ladder to get
up to the 2nd story roof.
Four in white tee shirts, with
some kind of work logo, and
jeans. One, no shirt, and dark blue
sweat pants.
All sat, starting at the peak, with
legs pointing down the slope
of the roof and scraping off the old
shingles. Worked their way down
the roof until old shingles avalanche
off and slid down a big plastic
sheet protecting the side of
the house.
One fetched a push broom and
that half of the roof cleaned off
nice and neat down to the wood.
Four sat in a circle, don't know where
the fifth went, and shared a joint in
the warm morning sun at 40 feet.
