Having already said so many ugly things, I'll add this here. Still not sure what ;snap' poetry is!

On septic

I have not

done unnecessary manual

labour. A slab,

had to be rolled,

Sledgehammer and a wheelbarrow

Probably ten hours or so

After 8 hours with the saw.

A coppice, the job poor,

craving its own

end.

I hold it,

almost bold.

Then,

to stub onto my eyelids,

even not to.

Hi John Grant

I suspect you may have accidentaly posted your 'snap' to th wrong
event.
That particular tribal custom does take place on a Wednesday but it is
habit peculiar to the natives of the PoetryEtc list.
