Holes

[.... we all have 'em]

Many of us have holes.....
Most of the time we manage
to maneuver around the hole
and live our daily life.

For most it's just one solitary hole
.... for others there are several holes
and sometimes the holes are linked....
... joined by a tunnel or even a trench

For these poor buggas,
it's hard to stay out of a hole!
If perchance they have a good time
walking on the surface....
happy for a moment...
.... then... sure as eggs the next step
will see them falling into the next hole.

For those of us with just one hole ....
the hole is often not too deep
.... and after the shock of being in the hole
the climb back out is not too hard

But if there are more holes
then we stumble into the next one!
..... and the really tough one .....
is when the holes are connected!

The poor bloke in the hole struggles
    .... and flails about ...
and usually finds the way
.... from the first hole into the next hole!

From down below the lonely bugga cries for help
.... but from above those cries grow more and more muffled
as the network of holes gets larger
     ......and it becomes so easy for people above
to ...just... not.... hear ... the cries from below

What to do? I don't know.....
