Carl Sandburg - MuckersCarl Sandburg - Muckers
Work rating: Medium


.        Twenty men stand watching the mucker`s.          Stabbing the sides of the ditch          Where clay gleams yellow,          Driving the blades of their shovels          Deeper and deeper for the new gas mains          Wiping sweat off their faces               With red bandannas The mucker`s work on . . pausing . . to pull Their boots out of suckholes where they slosh.     Of the twenty looking on Ten murmur, "O, its a hell of a job," Ten others, "Jesus, I wish I had the job."
