Two Reasons Why We Dig Holes

Burying dead bodies usually takes place In fancy holes dug on some land space. Most people dig those holes somewhere nice But sometimes they don’t have a choice. Some people burn dead bodies to ashes And this really saves on available land spaces. Sometimes dead bodies are buried at sea And slowly sink into muck for eternity. Other fancy holes are dug large enough, For the removal of some valuable stuff. Sometimes these holes are dug somewhere nice And most times people don’t have a choice. When all the valuable stuff’s gone offshore The hole is back-filled and land space restored. Today we can dig holes in the seafloor Right through the eternal muck and more. Holes should be dug to bury the dead And to remove valuable stuff instead.
