What did one wall say to another wall?

A:  I am tired of looking like this! When will it be my turn? I am getting impatient.  I am missing pieces of my facade here! Does no one care?

Hey! Don’t step on those.

B:  Boy stop your complaining.  You don’t know how lucky you are.  All you did was lose a few pieces.  When I was your age, I could with stand the earth moving like that.  In fact I thought it was fun, but  look at me now!  These old stones are not what they use to be.  It is a good thing I had you next to me, or I could have been in pieces like poor old Marble over there.

I sure hope these humans know what they are doing.  They have me all tied up in these braces.               I can’t see a thing.  And, I don’t trust their new methods.  I heard them talking about some new material. steel…have you heard of steel?  I don’t know what that is, but I have made it this far without it.  Why do I need it now? They should just let me fall.

A:  Now, now Concerto. Don’t talk like that.  The humans know what they are doing, and you are right.  I am sorry.  I should not complain.  You should know that we would all miss you if you fell, so please hold on a little longer.  It will soon be easier.   Say, have you had a good look at that new lady going up across the street?  They sure don’t make them as curvy as they use to.  All the new ones are square now.  It must be the new style.

B:  Boy, didn’t  I just tell you I couldn’t see?
