That's like

How happy is the moron
He doesn't give a damn
I wish I was a moron....

......OMG perhaps I am?

There is no more

**veggiechicken** · 31-12-2013, 10:22 PM

I heard a snore

**veggiechicken** · 31-12-2013, 10:22 PM

Must be that time

**veggiechicken** · 31-12-2013, 10:23 PM

When words don't rhyme

Digging
by Seamus Heaney

**julesapple** · 31-12-2013, 10:25 PM

Between my finger and my thumb

**julesapple** · 31-12-2013, 10:25 PM

The squat pen rests; snug as a gun.

**julesapple** · 31-12-2013, 10:26 PM

Under my window, a clean rasping sound

**julesapple** · 31-12-2013, 10:27 PM

When the spade sinks into gravelly ground:

**julesapple** · 31-12-2013, 10:27 PM

My father, digging. I look down

**julesapple** · 31-12-2013, 10:28 PM

Till his straining rump among the flowerbeds

**julesapple** · 31-12-2013, 10:28 PM

Bends low, comes up twenty years away

**julesapple** · 31-12-2013, 10:29 PM

Stooping in rhythm through potato drills
