My puppy Beau has been digging
His face and front paws are black with mud
He looks like he has been devouring a chocolate pie
Clean him up? Are you kidding?
He will go right back and do it again as soon as I do.

Foul mouthed he was,foul mouthed he was called,
A beast with words,an obsession he wards,
South is his tone,without a fear to his baritone,
A grave his tongue digs,for him he'll only sink.

Gopher decided he would dig to China, and so he did.
He began to charge customers, who wanted to travel far away.
It’s a joke some said, a gimmick, a tease, a kid.
So, they did not get to venture to China that day.

I DIG MY PUPPY AND HE DIGS IN MY YARD-
I dig my puppy
He is so big and funny.
He has running legs
And many joyful diggings
He barks I feel like shoveling

Thank God someone is protecting the rights
those of our Divine Lord and soulfully addressing this how it should be
under canon law all political collections outside the church should be stopped
as each party was part of this genocidal slaughter which has been signed into law
sadness has gripped many good souls knowing suffering
praying seeing so many lost from God
knowing deep down they are not all bad
but they deny the truth and try to shut it down
standing to show a victim silenced Holy Innocence

Paleontologist Steve called in another expert.
Where did you find this? The second scientist asked me.
My heart was beating furiously.
Back yard I told him.
How far down?
Of course I cannot be certain,
for when the Great Dane digs, the Great Dane digs.
I was wishing Yellow Fellow was here to take care of this.
But since he does not drive or speak to strangers, here I am.
My dog dug it up.
Joe looked at Steve and said “You are correct. This is amazing.”
He looked at me. “I believe this is a Stegosaurus bone, he said.
Can we get you to sign a release and send it to our lab?”
“You can have it,” I said.
They called me a week later to ask permission to dig up the rest
of my yard. I told them “no,” for Yellow Fellow had already been
doing that and there were no more bones. Also I wanted my bone back.
I had been building my Stegosaurus model in the garage you see,
and I was short one bone.

Don’t use
me to get
in your
narrow digs
this
space is for
some kindness
so do
not stand up
on my digital
shoulders
trying
to call
others out.

Found it
Say it.
Glory
Story.
Contains
Refrains.
Locate
Relate.
Objects,
Prospects.
Dry bones
For loans.
Findings
Writings.
Wordings
No swings.
Repeat
The feat.
Often
Soften.
Accept
Detect.
The facts
No acts.

Keeping my head held high.
Forming my narrow path.
Words that will make me sigh.
Give me a mortal bath.
I admire how you can be so
pensive.
I wish things weren't so
offensive.
This greed that builds up now.
This forcing of my own scowl.
Breathing all of this time.
Seeming just so mild.
Get me back inside.
Unleashing another child.
Places that I can't ever resign.
Inside it digs so deep.
My fighting just so reclines.
Just as I'd say this.
Facing defeat.
My soul will sleep.
Just so I can resist.
Break me down.
Take me down.
Amaze my passion.
Quickly sound.
Loudly sound.
For a timely fashion.

Just moved to our brand new abode
Been checking out the surroundings
Overjoyed with what we've discovered
Find our new digs really astounding
Everything is just a stones throw away
It's a vibrant and exciting new town
Parks and trails to keep our bodies in shape
A whole new lifestyle we've found
Feels like we've just travelled back in time
Recapturing our youth once more
Like a fresh new beginning, a fresh new start
With exciting new things to explore
This life changing move was long overdue
It's so easy to become complacent
And miss out on all the good things in life
Things that provide enrichment
What I'm suggesting if this could be you
It doesn't have to be quite so drastic
Just a simple thing a bit out of the ordinary
The results you'll find are fantastic
