Confidence Level Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Keep digging.
It has got to be found.
We have already reported to the media,
A sighting of it has been detected.

"Ok.
That's a relief.
Another team of excavators,
Are on their way.
They should soon arrive.
Hoping with their assistance,
The confidence level of the people...
Will not deeper sink.
And the discovery of it,
Can be restored and again thrive.
How deep down are you now? "

Oh...
That's a good question.
I would say...
Based upon my estimate.
Maybe...
Several hundred feet below the surface.

"Hmmm...
We must stay optimistic about this.
I'll update the media.
And say our hopes are extremely high.
With everyone standing by,
Rising to the situation."

Sounds great.
And I will tell the crew,
To continue to recruit more rescuers.
Since...
We are going to need,
All the help we can get.

"You can say that again."

Sounds great.
And I will tell the crew,
To continue to recruit more rescuers.
Since...
We are going to need,
All the help we can get.
