I' m surprised at the amount of people,
who know nothing at all about composting.
They  have no idea , what or what does not compost,
One neighbour said, ' Cartons and Iron' do not compost.

' Everything' I said,    composts, including ourselves,
this got a huge laugh,
Cemeteries all over the country,
are just composing fields, why else do we bury our dead,
If we didn't want them to compost,
We'd have put them into lead coffins.

They all thought I was hilarious,
' "Cartons, tin cans ,  bits of Iron,
clothes ,timber, will all compost,
faster than you can say , Kirk Douglas,
forget that last bit,
Only 'plastic' can live that long"
