The way he cleared the site… that was thorough
The clearings sorted into piles, biodegradable and non-perishable
The way he loaded the metals and plastics into the skip… that was admirable
The way he constructed a bonfire, safe so the flames wouldn’t spread… that was neighbourly
The way he mounded the lighter organic materials to be composted… that was masterly
The way he levelled the ground now cleared… that was careful
The way he measured and drove in the pegs… that was skilful
But the way he dug that hole… that was abysmal

Love this. And looking up from the abyss – gotta admit, it’s pretty smart, too 😉

I thank you, Dale. I believe much of it is to do with finding the right image to go with it. It helps to deliver my unwritten punchline.
