Hi! I'm Horst Buchender and I've had this penchant for digging
since I buried my sister's Barbie in my sandbox

She didn't complain as much as my sister did
Her eyes were open and bright

Mom missed one, but not the other
It grew with me, this...'penchant'

I still have all my old shovels

My new ones are ergonomic
which increases production

The sods are so much greener
I sometimes miss that old sandbox though

Without regular use it became rancid from
urinating dogs that would stray onto the property

Catching them after the fact taught me to love tempura
Recycling is in everyone's best interest

Now that I'm semi-retired I've grown fond of investing
Everyone seems to agree that real estate is the major wave

Good ground, that's for me

The only rocks worth a tinker's damn
are in the rings and necklaces I find

Good ground though, that's for me.

You'd think I'd grow out of it wouldn't you?
Oh well, everyone needs a hobby


Touch, but don't look

Forgive me Jack Napes, but the only digging I do is for posts which have no reply. I found this one way back on page 20.

To say that I found this poetry profoundly dark is an opinion in which many may agree.

Having said that, I also read a good deal of humor in it. You wrote your twisted tale allowing the reader (me) to fill in the morbid details.

I guess that says a little something for my 'shady' self but it was your work that made me think on the 'dark side'.
