The knowledge acquired by the gravedigger <br />slowly troubles and plays on the mind: <br />So old great-grandpa Marcus Woods <br />without illusions endevored to find <br />a solution to the problem, <br />how he and grannie might lay <br />for their journey into eternity, <br />he pondered as he dug during the day. <br /> <br />He knew all the gravedigger's failings, <br />how they regularly turned over 'ole bone '... <br />then finally it occured to him: <br />'We'll form a tomb o' brick undergroun'! ' <br />Goodness know how he ever achieved it, <br />but build it her certainly did, <br />one on top of the other - thus <br />together in unperturbed bliss!<br /><br />Gillian.E.
