it’s not a dry well.
they gathered around the hole
there was nothing much to see
so they stood around
five or six guys chatting anxiously
the women on the porch talkin’ over tea
what do you mean, not dry?, one asked
we’re only down sixty-five feet, it’s moist
it’s going to take a while
i think eighty at least before we hit water
we have to check the bit and see if it’s okay
that’s some hard rock we’re going through
the rains are gone for now
he turned his collar against the chill wind,
the dog lifted it’s chin a sniffed the air
as the drill started up again

I like this one.
Mighty fine Jack. I think Sam Sheppard should play the man with the collar.
I like the way the dog lifted its chin and sniffed the air!
Sam Sheppard can't play the part - because the dog is the one that turned his collar against the wind.
Then I can play the part!
