Honey Bunches of Broke

Inspiration to start the day
Captain the Titanic like Uncle money bags
Sail off or float
Digging sand dollars around the moat

When
we have
had enough,
and can take no

at

stop digging-
invite Jesus

like a spotted fawn
digging with a tender hoof
in the drifting leaves
morning paints an autumn song
smiles upon the vivid mists

Who happens to be filthy rich
But I can live with it

Write orgies from words known
With syntax like old men's drone
And metaphors overblown

Feels like speaking with heaven
Shoots burst through in tufts

Is famous for her willow switch
The water she found

And digging it up is a B itch!

Who spent her days digging a ditch

But her critics all found their niche

Wrong Course

Rowing a boat up onto the land
Digging the oar stump into the sand
Dragging a dead ship on dry ground
Wishing that on sea, i had drowned

it's just a wish behind you digging...
or is it fear  that makes you climb?

i wonder if the doors were open,
do they heal or make you die.

Slippery Slappery
Rikki Tikki Tavi
Chased the snake
Down into the hole

Digging deeper
Much like a 
Spelunker
He happened upon a mole.

There once was an old man from York
Who choked on a large chunk of pork
He croaked for his wife
Who ended his life
By digging it out with a fork

The Badger

The badger was digging all out, 
In search of some grubs, no doubt. 
With dirt flying high, 
He let out a sigh, 
And left quite a mess all about!

I shoveled the digs of hurt transposed beneath the skirt,
muddy waters bleed I hurt;

Roast Chicken

My grandma in her garden
picking peas, beans and carrots
and digging up potatoes -
roast chicken for lunch.

Sprinkled with vegetables, flowers too
Dirt therapy digging with all my might.

Bringing with him tragedy!
Lines down trees on ground!
Mighty snow falling.
