A Pome a Day for a Year

Topless man sat in water grunting
pushing his hammer into the earth
AND PROPELLING!

Only forward little man
only forward and up,
the world is most certainly against you
because you are stuck
in rusty overflowing cauldron
and most people have more
appropriate methods of locomotion.

Quick jerks with your sledge
between extremely compact
tunnels of rock
(weirdly positioned lamps for whom benefit?)
to make it to that mountain
and beyond!

Do you rage? Do you lament?
Do you laugh? Do you repent?
Does Foddy rankle or sparkle?

How is your cauldron?
