A guy falls in a hole

“The human voice can never reach

the distance that is covered

by the still small voice of conscience.”

Mahatma Ghandi

This guy is walking down the street; falls into a hole.
The walls are so deep and the hole is so steep
he can't claw his way out. He begins shouting,
"hey is there anybody there, I need help!"

About then a priest happens by, peers into the hole,
" My son" he says "what has happened?"
You see father I was minding my own business
and before I knew it I fell into this hole...

no matter how hard I scratch and claw
it only makes things worse.
The cleryman pauses, writes out a prayer,
drops in the hole and says"
God bless you my son" then goes on his way.

After a short while our guy begins
shouting for help once more
when a doctor happens by.

" Hey Doc, I seem to have fallen
and can't get up"! Without hesitation
he whips out his P-pad, writes out
a script and drops it in the hole.

" This should help, call my office
for a follow up as he hurries on his way.

Finally a friend stops, looks down and says
" Hey man; you okay? Our guy replies:
I just can't seem to get out of this hole I'm in.

The friend tells him to step back
and proceeds to jump into the hole.

Our guy: stunned and dismayed
looks at him and says
"Okay; whadda ya stupid,
now where both stuck down here.

The friend turns, softly grins,
then calmly brushes himself off
& says " yeah, ya see,
I've been down here before
I know the way out.

When your stuck in a hole all by yourself
you find truth in the value of friendship...

"Try again, fail again. Fail better." Samuel Beckett
