Question

two tramps in mud time​

Answer 1

Answer:

The speaker in "Two Tramps in Mud Time" creates a little drama focusing on his encounter with two unemployed lumberjacks who covet the speaker's wood-splitting task. Labeling them "tramps," the speaker then offers a fascinating philosophical take on his reason for choosing to continue his chore, instead of turning it over to these two needy individuals.

Is it likely that sometimes altruism might play a part in a stunted spiritual progress? Possible the speaker would ascribe to this notion. However, the speaker may also have been "put off" more than his "aim" at the wood by the condescending remark made by one of the accosting tramps.
