Poem from the book {Lion and the Sun} by Artist Troy Richard Thomas

                          The landscaping job

 Lifting 80 pound concrete blocks one by one into a wheelbarrow

                  Wheeling them to the job site

                     Stacking 80 pound blocks

Lifting 40 pound cap blocks into the wheelbarrow

                     Wheeling to the job site

                 Stacking 40 pound cap blocks

Digging trench, moving earth with a shovel and hands

                       Hitting roots and rocks

Removing roots with clippers, axe, and chainsaw

              Fingers ripped, torn, and bruised

Moving 80 pound concrete blocks to place them in

             Level and relevel 80 pound blocks

Shifting blocks backwards and forwards till they look right and match

         Moving paving bricks in place till level

You might have to move a brick out 3 to 5 times till it looks level and good

Move bricks to brick yard so they are out of the way

      Move sand in and brush into the cracks

             Than wash out the excess sand

Revaluate, move a few bricks to make it perfect

Drive home with hands turned to claws, arms and legs hurting

  Get up in the morning and do it all over again.
