greater love hath no friend
than to help another friend
clean out her cesspool this
was many many years ago
we excavated to the buried
lid then pried it up what an
awesome sight rather lovely
if you can divide beauty from
substance mostly brown but
people had been consuming
corn-on-the-cob I won’t get
more graphic than that well we
shoveled muck into the wheelbarrow
carted off load upon load
finally sought some husky help
burned our clothes now my friend
needs to do something with that
cesspool again these things come
around but where oh where is it
I hear she’s hired a soul gifted
in such matters to douse for it
were I there I could stand on the
exact spot point down no charge
