somebody hand me a shovel

somebody hand me a shovel

A Chapter by Lyn Anderson
"

harder than you think

"
All right,
enough!

been stuck in
this damned hole
all damned day.

the water's past
my ankles; I am cold,
and it's past my bedtime.

Someone hand me
a shovel, would ya?

Sometimes I think I need a shovel too. Hell, sometimes I think I need a backhoe.
