under tarpaulin

I woke up this mornin'
under a sheet of tarpaulin,
I forged a small air hole above m' head
& then I went back to bed.

Cuh!
Who needs ditches nowadays eh?

'Drainage'
& you're probably right,
for February 'tis known 
as the month of fill-dyke
- no chucklin' in the corners please
I know what you're like.
