Falling deep, Sam did not even pout.

In a dirt hole he could not get out.

Then a thought came to him,

and it was not so grim.

He formed stairs from the dirt –escape route!


Also Sam's friend got stuck in a hole.

He was helpless as Sam, yet the role

that he played was to sit,

and with no thought to it.

Quitters need to determine a goal!

For Margarita Lillico's Quitters Never Win Poetry Contest
(At the suggestion of a fellow poet, I decided to add on a second 
limerick, which I hope is ok to do. This poet thought I should write
about the other man in the cartoon!)
