Digger Jones
Dug deep and long
Digging for bones
It was right and yet so wrong
Kept busy
Both night and day
Even without light
Digger found a way
People didn’t know what to think
Was he digging for gold?
Digging for oil?
He must be digging for China
Digger just kept digging
He found soup bones
Buried by a dog long ago
Forgotten and never chewed
Placed in holes just so
Dinosaur bones crossed his path too
A T-Rex jaw with six teeth
A triceratops horn
With some petrified plants underneath
These didn’t interest Digger in the least
Some speculated he was after something big
Sometimes even he didn’t know
It just felt so good to dig
But when he remembered
He dug a little faster
A little deeper went his hole
Him and his shovelmaster
I kind of lost track of him after a while
I moved far away
But every now and again I smile
As I remember the day
That I first saw him digging
I hope he found what he wanted
And that he's not there digging still
