My Dirty Business

It's a dirty little business And I've never stooped so low But if I stay here long enough I'll dig myself a hole There's trouble all around And death to be expected But the tools that I have found Will leave a wound, that's undetected It'll take time for all to see What I've done here on this day 'bout the time that they take notice I'll be far enough away Now, I have them lying there Soon, covered up with weeds But if I want to grow tomatoes I have to plant these seeds

Very funny, Jerry. I like the intrigue that led up to the last two lines. Quite clever..... Robert.
