An Excavation

Three men are digging a hole in the ground Their supervisor is casually standing around A bystander is not making the slightest sound No precious pirates’ treasure will soon astound. Dirt brought up beneath is forming a mound One says a jackhammer is needed to pound Hard limestone rock is starting to confound Six feet down will lie remains of a renowned.
