Ode to the Locator Man
To kick-off our new website, here is a poem in anticipation of winter:
Ode to the Locator Man
Over frozen roads we roam, driving black trucks to wherever you want us to go,
Our purpose is simple: to find cable and pipe,
So as to allow you to dig without any plight;
We have years of experience on all sorts of terrain,
Before the ground freezes, our life is a pain!
Hopefully, it was asked if snow machines are needed,
“Please don’t make us walk up that right-of-way on snowshoes,” we pleaded.
Regardless, the toils of the job, we’ll get it done,
That’s all for now, I have to run…
Don
