Our daughter, Melanie, had to dig a 45 foot ditch around her house so that a new line could be laid to
replace a calor gas line that had sprung a leak.
She sent us an e-mail saying that she never wanted to be a Ditch Digger.

MELANIE THE DITCH DIGGER

Don't want to be a ditch digger,
Ditch Digging’s not my line.
But a PooBear or a Tigger
Or even Eeyaw would be fine.

Don’t want to be a Ditch Digger,
A ditch digger’s not for me.
It’s not difficult to figure.
It’s not what I want to be.

Don’t want to be a Ditch Digger.
Digging ditches an’t no fun.
Oh! It may make me bigger,
But it’s got me on the run.

Don’t want to be a Ditch Digger.
The ground is full of bricks.
It makes me want to snigger,
This is not a job for chicks!

So, take this job and shove it.
I don’t want it any more.
I know there’s some that loves it,
But it only makes me sore.
