To Drain a Swamp

What does it take to drain a swamp?
A weakling or someone with strength and pomp?
How deep in the mire must this one go
To effect a change from the muck we know?
To drain a swamp, takes grit and a STOMP!

Well, done. Tom! Grit, you bet. Swamps do not like to be messed with. Too many alligators take a David to exterminate them with something simple like TRUTH. )) The David has to be strong while the Swamp creatures disguise themselves as angelic beings! Panagiota Romios
