The Objection to Being Stepped On
by Robert Frost
At the end of the row
I stepped on the toe
I stepped on the toe
Of an unemployed hoe.

It rose in offense
And struck me a blow
In the seat of my sense.

It wasn't to blame
But I called it a name.

And I must say it dealt
Me a blow that I felt
Like a malice prepense.
You may call me a fool,
But was there a rule
The weapon should be
Turned into a tool?
And what do we see?

The first tool I step on
Turned into a weapon.

The guy in #4 looks like he's got a hard on. This is a fun post with some hood- looking guys being shown...and "showing," if ya know what I mean. Big Dude
Diego Valentino could work in my gardens any time he'd like. So thankful these guys weren't shy about going full frontal. Wonderful to see.
Jim Tighe is using a pick-axe....
World Naked Gardening Day? I guess I shouldn't be surprised.
When I worked on the railroad digging trenches for wires, I thought that "lethal-looking hoe" was a "pick-mattock". There are such digging tools sold with that name.
Two of the other instruments are rakes. The others, we do not see the business end of. So there may not be any hoes in this post at all. :)
That English gardener Wain can do my garden anytime he desires !!!
:-)
