Just Not Me

time spent in sweltering sun
is never any fun

The men work hard to dig a pit,
 someone somewhere must do it-

just not me.

Hi Allen, thankfully someone wants to or has to do the job - no picnic i'm sure, it wouldn't be my choice either! Happy Easter to you my friend, and your family. Poetry hugs, Jennifer.

Nicely done Allen I guess it depends on what kind of pit you are digging. Good job here. God Bless and Happy Easter to you and yours. JB
