I love to dig, I don't know why
I dig and dig and dig.
I dig in rain, I dig in sun, I dig because it's fun.
I think it's neat, dirt 'tween my feet
The pile it goes so high.
Just one more scoop, is all it takes
For me to touch the sky.
I found a worm, I found a grub
I found a slimely slug.
A pool I'll build for summer days
For me and Kase and Bug.
I'll dig it deep that hole of mine
My tail it will be waggin'.
I heard a thump I'll take a look
Oh wow, a blue volkswagon.
I am so proud my hole I dug
And I shall say it loud.
For if you see no part of me
My hole is four foot three!!!!!
From
that other world, that place, that time,
When others' greed defined us.
Told us who and what we are,
A world that undermined us
Intentionally,
so we wouldn't leave,
That carrot in front of our noses.
Or a rabbit, pretending security,
But never a bed of roses.
Just
illusions, that same awful dog track,
Fulfilling the dreams of others.
Discounted, exploited, ignored at best,
But hoping to be discovered.
Thank
God we didn't believe them
When they told us, "You are a loser."
They finally had to let us go
It cost too much to keep us.
They
missed our beauty, our grace, our charm, our
finesse, our exquisite perfection.
They didn't deserve us and never will
Special creatures, without exception.
I
dreamt I was back at my old job last night, and I guess that you did, too.
Four feet moving round the bed, 'round the track? Trembling, like a leaf
Then waking, knowing that's over now, it's history, another bad dream
We can leave behind us in that other place, our first reality.
