Downstream a mile
the tiny creek united
head-on with another
just a little bigger.
Together these two
at a fork joined forces;
it was right here
the boys started working.
They gathered all the rocks
and dirt they could find;
and while they were digging
yellow jackets came buzzing.
To home they darted,
legs hardly moving;
to the dam they returned
with kerosene for the critters..
Their project continued,
near sundown completed;
by the next morning
the water stood deeply.
