Holes

The funny thing
in the Eastern Cape
about pot holes

is
that the authorities prefer
to dig new holes beside them

for putting in signs
saying
pot holes!

rather
than straight away filling
the old holes.

All of Africa suffers
from pot holes,
but

in South Africa we can be proud
to know we make efforts to tell all
that

we
have
holes.
