The crown prince
put the shovel into a hole
already dug
lifted out some dirt
tossed it
for the camera.

Then the crown princess
stumbled over in heels
lifted out a little more dirt
tossed it gingerly
for the cameras.

They were both then ushered off
to a waiting car
back to their hotel.

It had been a busy day.

Both lifting
and tossing,
remembering to smile
all the
while.
