Ditch Digger

I've heard the world needs ditch diggers too,

Which is good for me and good for you,

Because now we can be important to,

The doctors and the lawyers.

 

Oh, won't my mother be so proud,

To have raised such an important child,

Who reached the summit in the clouds,

When it comes to holding a shovel.

 

So, remember not to try too hard,

If you were born substandard,

Because you will leave an important mark,

or at least a small trench somewhere.
