Between Rivalry and Savagery

The rivalry
             disputes spaces   and fights as
             landowner and landless   
             cat and  mouse  ...!
             Ignorant men
             fight over money
             equal to dogs for garbage ...

Indiana Jones Makes a Visit

Indiana Jones Makes a Visit

By Elton Camp

A wealthy French landowner was extremely excited
To explore his caves, a professor asked to be invited

“That man is the greatest archaeologist of our age.
This is certain to put my name on the front page.”

So a good impression he would make on the man
Jacques ordered his caves to be spick and span

So, to one of his workers, he gave the command
“Use the power wash & clean up good as you can.”

And here is something I especially want to mention
All those drawings on the walls give special attention

“If the cave has graffiti, he might think that I’m a lout
Instead of a person of culture, intelligence & clout.”
