Shit On My Shovel

With three big dogs in yard it’s unavoidable and since two of them have recently decided shit is a delicacy… It’s imperative to clean it up quick… They eat well and have no need for a hot meal…

The where’s and when’s of our inspirations are sometimes very interesting… There’s not always a direct relation or corollary between our actions and our musings… Sometimes musings are tangential and sometimes we just think about shit…

Today is one of those days… I’ve shoveled a lot of shit in my life… Back in the days of single bars and pick up lines I could shovel shit with the best of ‘em…

Sometimes the shit we’re stuck shoveling doesn’t smell so nice… That’s usually the shit someone else dumps on us… Not to say our own shit doesn’t stink… But shoveling out from under some else’s is never pleasant…

People should remember the age-old adage… Shit unto others, as you would have them shit onto you… In other words… DON’T…

Back in my fighting days… I admit there were times I welcomed it… With the caveat… Shit on me all you want… Just be ready for twice as much in return…

Now that I’m older there are days that I can’t shit at all, so I’m a little more discreet before making so bold a statement… Especially, if I haven’t taken my Metamucil that day…

Sometimes we can’t think of any shit to write about… And sometimes we just gotta shovel shit… Today is one of those days…
has shit on his shovel...
