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! May 14, 2021 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!)

Well done. A good analogy between winners and quitters. This poem captures that in such a creative way. Thanks for sharing, Justin.
