Digging for clams
                         Is no simple case
                         Of open and shut;

                         Unhappily
                         They must take it all in
                         To discover what
                           Is worthy of time
                         And trouble and not
                         Just scuttlebutt.






                         Fearless leaders think
                         Death an abstraction;
                         Their followers blink,
                         Fearing exaction.






               Said one bottom feeder to another,

               “Let us go higher before we smother!”

               Up the food chain as far as they could go,

               They stopped and started choking those below.
