Poet: “Why do you dig a hole my good man?”
Workman: “Because I can,
While those who are not able
Sit at a table,
Wasting time
Trying to make their verses rhyme”!
Poet: “I have a plan
To make my lines scan.
Kindly move your van
And I will be on my way
To versify the livelong day”.
“Workman: Why bless my soul
This poet droll
So intent was he on his goal
Of writing verse,
That the man’s fallen into that there hole,
To be a rhymer is most perverse”!

LOL Nice one Kevin 😄
Thank you Chris! In Crystal Palace they are replacing all the street lights. Consequently there is a lot of digging going on and numerous holes around to engulf the unwary. Chatting to one of the workmen earlier today (he was very helpful in guiding me around the obstacle course), the idea for the poem came to me.
Glad he took the time Kevin 😃
So am I. I find that almost invariably workmen, builders etc are helpful. The problem comes when they have gone home for the day and it isn’t obvious to my trusty hound Trigger or I how, exactly we are supposed to navigate a maze of roadworks!
:), thanks for the laughs!
You are welcome Kunal. Glad it made you laugh! Kevin
👍
Bruh this is good
Thank you, I’m pleased you liked it. Have a good weekend. Kevin
Um, this might sound cheesy and you might think it’ll be a waste but please look at my writings. If you don’t like what you see then I’m sorry for bothering you man
I am very happy to look at your writings and will do so later on today. Best. Kevin
